It's being claimed trying Epstein now is a case of double jeopardy, and mostly because of Acosta's handling of the plea agreement. But that's in federal court. New evidence in the old cases won't cut it. It will take evidence of new offences, and apparently they don't have that....yet!
However, in this February 2019 article they state:
Federal prosecutors, under former Miami U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta, broke the law when they concealed a plea agreement from more than 30 underage victims who had been sexually abused by wealthy New York hedge fund manager Jeffrey Epstein, a federal judge ruled Thursday.
While the decision marks a victory for crime victims, the federal judge, Kenneth A. Marra, stopped short of overturning Epstein’s plea deal, or issuing an order resolving the case. He instead gave federal prosecutors 15 days to confer with Epstein’s victims and their attorneys to come up with a settlement. The victims did not seek money or damages as part of the suit.
It’s not clear whether the victims, now in their late 20s and early 30s, can, as part of the settlement, demand that the government prosecute Epstein. But others are calling on the Justice Department to take a new look at the case in the wake of the judge’s ruling.Will that be a factor in this case? I have to believe it will. But one thing seems clear to me, and that is none of this prevents local and state prosecutors from taking action. This is getting too big for the locals to ignore, and someone will have to step up and be counted.
