Jeffrey Epstein ‘sex slave’ trial postponed
http://pagesix.com/2017/05/10/jeffrey-epstein-sex-slave-trial-postponed/
It's over??? Just a matter of details?
"Giuffre — who was 15 and working as a towel girl at Mar-a-Lago when Maxwell met her — claims Epstein turned her into a slave and forced her to have sex with his friends, including Prince Andrew, Duke of York, who denied her allegations.
Since Epstein was also friends with Bill Clinton, and was defended by Alan Dershowitz, their names were dragged into the case, too. But sources say they were never going to be called as witnesses.
Now, in a big disappointment to journalists, anti-sex-trafficking activists and Clinton haters, there may be no trial. [[ + a huge disappointment to "justice."]]
“After 11 years and much high drama, [Giuffre’s lawyer] David Boies asked his client to settle the case,” one insider told me.
Giuffre has already collected a settlement from Epstein and sold her story to the UK’s Daily Mail, but her testimony was hotly anticipated.
The blonde was expected to tell in sordid detail how Maxwell routinely recruited young girls and taught them how to give erotic massages that led to sex and prostitution.
If they don’t settle, the trial is now set for May 25."
[NOTE: Referring to Giuffre as "The blond ..." -- is this a normal thing, using "the blonde" to describe the victim? Seems almost derogatory.

Dershowitz had threatened to sue her for defamation, when Virginia claimed that she was forced to give him oral sex when she was yet a child, when the whole Epstein orgy island came into the news. He hasn't sued.
It was widely believed many years ago that Dershowitz had his wife killed during a custody battle. His wife had left him due to finding out aobut his predilection for CP.
Besides being the defender of Epstein, Dershowitz was advisor to OJs dream team also. It would have been awkward for him to be in court and under scrutiny during the OJ trial when someone might well have brought up the case about his own wife falling off the Brooklyn Bridge.

Hey Laskar, we could use links to that Dershowitz smut. He's a key to the Epstein story -- has weaponized the law into a tool for witness and prosecutor suppression -- and a major reason victims don't come forward and attorneys don't take their cases. Anything we can document on him could be valuable.

I think Dershowitz is worthy of his own post. Documentation is being gathered by more than few of us.

He needs the mother of all megathreads!

True.
I hope many are working on it before the info is completely scrubbed.
