The Palm Beach police chief became quite frustrated
,
that during his thirteen month investigation, as more
and more
evidence was being uncovered , his case was becoming
weaker and weaker. His frustration culminated in his
improper release of what a former secret service agent
termed " the raw sewage of an investigation".The type
of report that when investigating a potential
supreme court nominee the FBI would not even release,
if asked,
to Congress. Comprised of essentially unexamined
gossip, the release of these reports were criticized
as , " a break with professionalism" by the Dade
Cuunty State Attorney. The chief however claimed that
it was his personal opinion that justice was not
served by the eventual decision of both the grand
jury, and prosecutor,.In surprising fact, and in
contrast to the fundamental principles of the most
basic justice, he then carefully chose to release only
one side of the story.This accomplished his purpose of
simply embarassing Mr Epstein while clearly and
purposfully denying
the public access to all the evidence. This was done
even after being specifically put on notice, that it
would cause irreparable harm to the reputation of
mere bystanders, Floridas' severe grand jury secrecy
laws have been put in place to protect against the
unjust release of just these types of unsubstantiated
allegations being made public. The records also
show that in order for his pre-conceived and
personal view not even to be
called into question ,he categorically refused to
attend a
scheduled meeting convened by the prosecutor for
the sole purpose of reviewing the exculpatory evidence
. The grand jury and the prosecutor in contrast, are
required by law to carefully consider both sides. The
prosecutor as legal and ethical " gatekeeper", and the
grand jury fufilling its historical judicial role by
acting as a check to overzealous law enforcement.
To the Chief's dismay ,each and in their own
seperate capacity considered the totality
of the evidence and eventually
decided on only a single charge of solicitation.
They obviously
recognized the signifigance of the fact that Mr
Epstein passed an extensive lie detector test , given
by one the
states most reknowned and toughest practioners.
The prosecutor and jury members (21 citizens)
reviewed all the
police reports,in their entirety. They were
essentially comprised of a detectives' narrative,
repeating ,the various and unsubstantiated
allegations .Moreover they thoughtfully examined
third
party highly relevant documentary evidence ,
including pertinent
federal criminal records,prior misrepresentations of
age,other clearly dated evidence showing proof of
actual versus fabricated age ,law enforcecment
reports,and both taped confessions and e-mails .
It is quite apparent that in
order to simply embarass Mr Epstein , as opposed to
abiding by our system of well established fairness
the exculpatory evidence, was deliberately, withheld
by the police from their public release.
Some poignant examples
1.
The missing piece of the broken "device",salaciously
described in the report as a "sex toy", found during
the search of Mr Epsteins garbage and then officially
referred to in the report as "commonly used for
vaginal or anal stimulation" was the only single
relevant item found during a thorough, warrant
directed, search of his house .The purported "device"
turned out to be nothing more than an ordinary salad
spoon. The police chose however,not to amend their
report or release that fact.
2 .The same video cameras they
referred to in their report, were actually set up
with the help of their own swat team in order to
apprehend an armed burglar they deemed potentially
dangerous. The burglar was eventually caught, . As
the videos produced were grainy, Mr Epstein , in
recognition of the professional work done
donated $36,000., to enable, the police department
to purchase for their sole and future use, advanced
digital video enhancement equiptment .
They did so. They also however, fail to disclose in
the report that one of the main witnesses they
interviewed and relied on, was in in fact the
apprehended burglar. . 3.They more importantly fail
to disclose the fact that the woman fabricating
virtually all the more serious allegations,when
required to repeat those same fabrications under oath
,and threat of perjury ,refused to do so.
In addition they withheld from the
release , and in fact the prosecutors themselves ,
that
this very same witness had both been recently
arrested in palm beach , only blocks from the police
station ,for drug possession and only
shortly therafter terminated by her employer for
theft. Her taped confession, and her employers
statement that she was virtually incapable of telling
the truth, coupled with her documented written boast
that she and
her group of friends would become really ,really rich,
were facts carefully considered by the prosecutor and
grand jury in their decision to only charge one count
of solicitation but apparently decidedly ignored by
the police chief.
