Bobby Capucci
Hello everyone, and welcome to the Jeffrey Epstein Show. I'm your host, Bobby Capucci, and this is a morning update. We're gonna talk a little bit more about the plea deal in Florida. Now, we know that the 11th Circuit Court just heard the appeal from Courtney Wilde and Paul Cassell to try and have this NPA overturned. Well, an article from the Palm Beach Post is really digging to the heart of the matter. And the heart of the matter is that the Palm Beach County Prosecutor's Office worked in conjunction with the defense of Jeffrey Epstein to make sure that these girls didn't get justice. Now, I've talked about this from almost the very beginning, right? How the Epstein legal team and his conglomerate of powerful lawyers were able to put a significant amount of pressure on the state prosecutors, and they were able to control the narrative and get their client, Jeffrey Epstein, one of the most prolific sex traffickers and child abusers in the history of this country.
Co-host/Interjector
Well,
Bobby Capucci
they were able to let him get that nice NPA catch a nice a nice cushy jail sentence and the girls that were abused once again were just ignored. And this new article today from the PA The Palm Beach Post, delves into that. And it, it talks about how the high profile lawyers from Jeffrey Epstein's team were able to use their significant amount of influence to push this case in a way that they wanted. And the saddest part is the state prosecutors went along with it. This article was published by the Palm Beach Post. The headline, jeffrey Epstein Case PBC State Attorney Worked with Defense to Undercut Feds. The report says this article was authored by Jane Musgrave. And that headline alone isn't enough to make you want to beat your head off of a wall, right?
Co-host/Interjector
How in the hell does the state
Bobby Capucci
Attorney's office work with the defense to undercut the Feds? And furthermore, how are the feds, led by spineless bitch ass Acosta, getting run roughshod by a local attorney's office? From the moment federal prosecutors were handed the Jeffrey Epstein case, they didn't trust Palm Beach County State Attorney Barry Krish. Yeah, I don't blame them, right? You know, Barry Krish is the guy that tried to throw Rush Limbaugh in jail for a bazillion years over being a drug addict. Now, I don't care what you think about Rush Limbaugh one way or the other, but if you're going to pursue somebody for, for having a drug addiction as, as hard as they pursued Rush Limbaugh, you would think the same prosecutor would be just as worried about someone like Jeffrey Epstein conducting all sorts of crimes against children, right? You would think that it would be the same kind of hard charging, I'm gonna throw you in jail the rest of your life attitude. But we certainly didn't see that from Barry Krisher. In fact, we saw Barry Krisher attempt to get Jeffrey Epstein pretty much off. But even though federal prosecutors believed Krisher had intentionally torpedoed the case, they took the rare and misguided step of putting him in the driver's seat. You see, this is why none of it adds up, right? The feds never defer to local like this in a case like this. But yet they deferred to the local prosecutor and let Jeffrey Epstein face state charges instead. If anyone thinks that that was a decision that was made by Acosta on his own without calling his buddy Mr. Mukazy frantically and frequently, you're not paying attention to how all of this bureaucracy works. Instead of vigorously pursuing and the politically connected financier pedophile on charges that he sexually assaulted dozens of teens at his Palm Beach Mansion Krisher joined hands with Epstein's defense team and undermined federal prosecutors efforts. I've talked about the federal prosecutor's office in Palm beach for a while and I think that they played a huge role here. Obviously I think the okay came down from Mukazi's office, but I think that the Palm beach office here was very significant in the deal that Jeffrey Epstein ended up getting. I think that the State's Attorney's office even. I'll take it a step further. I think Krisher and the State's Attorney's office went to bat for Jeffrey Epstein. Now, do I have direct evidence of that? No, I don't. I can't provide that evidence for you, unfortunately. But all the pieces fit together and when we keep getting articles like this after the fact, when we add more context to this story after the fact, things start to emerge, right? Things definitely start to emerge. And it looks, at least to me, that the, the State's Attorney's office was playing ball with Jeffrey Epstein. And I don't see how anyone cannot see that at this point. The conclusions detailed in a 300 page report of an investigation by the US justice paint a damning picture of both Krish duplicity and federal prosecutors being naive. That I wouldn't even, I can't even say that. I don't even think, I won't say that the federal prosecutors are naive and I won't even say they're negligent. I'll say they're just lost, right? They're easily guided from up high when they get a call from the Attorney General's office. These dudes aren't willing to risk all of that static, right? They're not willing to risk the chance of never attaining whatever political position they have their eye on. So they play ball. Mukase's office contacts Acosta's office and then Acosta's office tells Krisher, hey, look, the ball's in your court, my boss, you know, this is the way we decided to go after this case and the ball is in your court, Mr. Krish. That is such a rare occurrence for the federal government to pass off Providence like that. The federal government wants that feather in their cap, right? The federal prosecutors want that feather in their cap. They want to take down the big game like Jeffrey Epstein. Why in the hell would they pass it off to Krisher? Unless of course, there was some sort of bargain worked out behind the scenes. The 22 month long investigation by the Office of Professional Responsibility cleared former South Florida U.S. attorney Alex Acosta and his Top lieutenants for of wrongdoing in connection with their handling of the salacious case that began more than 15 years ago. And I always expected that, right? Cover your ass. The department of Just Us is always going to protect. They're shitbag employees like Acosta. They're gonna do their best to protect them. And that's what you saw in this report, right? Oh, we made some mistakes. There was some bad decision making, but nothing too damning, right? Nothing that's going to get Acosta hemmed up. Nothing that's going to get some bracelets tossed on his bitch ass, you see? Because if they did that, then the whole entire operation's in jeopardy. Right now he's rat Nat Mukazi or Philippe or whoever it was that passed these orders down to him. We know that Mukase, his office signed off on the. On the deal, and we know that Mark Philippe signed off on the deal.
Co-host/Interjector
So if.
Bobby Capucci
If they went after Acosta, right, and tried to help hold him responsible in this report, they'd have to go all
Co-host/Interjector
the way up the top.
Bobby Capucci
And the just US Department certainly isn't setting that precedent, folks. Since Krisher doesn't work for the Justice Department, it offered no opinions about his conduct under investigation by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement for his actions. He declined to detail his decision making to investigators or comment for this story. Yeah, well, no shit. Krisher is the last guy that should be opening his mouth at this point. Everybody knows that Krisher dropped the ball. Everybody knows that his office acted like the three stooges times a hundred. Everybody knows that his office let Jeffrey Epstein walk. The report comes one year after the Palm Beach Post in an investigation called the First Failure, detailed how Krisher crippled his own case by working with the defense and treating Epstein's teenage survivors like prostitutes instead of victims of sexual assault. And we see the same strategy popping up again now, right, as they try and go hard to discredit Virginia. And it's the same story this time around, except for one crucial factor. The prosecution isn't sitting behind the scenes with Jeffrey, with Ghislaine Maxwell scumbag lawyers and working out some kind of ridiculous deal like the state prosecutors did. That's not going to happen this time around, thankfully, But the first time around. And the strategy of calling them prostitutes and only one of the witnesses speaking before the grand jury, that could have never happened without the state prosecutor's office signing off on it and being on board. So the state prosecutor's office, like I've said for a very long time, should really bear the brunt of all of this. And people like Krischer and even Vilafana, who people have tried to lionize as of late, are all responsible for this, in my opinion. At some point you have to say to yourself, enough is enough. If you're a prosecutor here or you're involved in the case at the state level and you know it stinks to high heaven, you gotta come out all guns blazing and go to the media, whatever it takes. If you lose your job, then so be it. Some things are more important, in my opinion, and it seems like a lot of people, especially in the world of politics, have seemed to forgotten that. While investigators found no evidence that federal prosecutors violated any professional codes or criminal laws, they said Acosta showed extremely bad judgment by placing his faith in Krisher again. Do you really think Acosta made that decision on his own? You think Acosta woke up one day and said, look, we're just gonna pass this case off, that's it. I'm making that executive call. That is not what happened. Acosta doesn't have the power to make that call. None of these state's attorneys do, none of these attorney generals do. All of that stuff gets kicked up high. Station chiefs, bureau chiefs, all the way up to the directors, all the way up to whoever the man is that on the top. That's how these things are handled. When we're dealing with somebody like Jeffrey Epstein or we're dealing with somebody like Elaine Maxwell, it's not made. The decisions aren't made by mid level bureaucrats. Too sensitive. And it's a political hot potato. So Acosta letting Krisher

run the ball
Bobby Capucci
here and control the offense was not a decision that was made by Acosta. If Acosta tried to make that decision on his own and his bosses didn't like it, do you really think they wouldn't have shut it down? Of course they would have. Even after the longtime state attorney showed he shouldn't be considered a reliable partner, Acosta continued to let Krisher make key decisions about a controversial federal non prosecution agreement.

And again, it just goes to show you that the federal government is not as interested, shall we say, in going after the so called elite as they would be going after you. You would be in prison for a million years if this was any of you out there. But Jeffrey Epstein. Nah, we're we'll pass that off to the state, the state's attorneys. Three stooges of an office and we'll let them yuck yuck yuck yuck yuck themselves around the case all day and we'll just have our hands off, you know, here at the Federal Prosecutor's Office, we'll just kick back and let you prosecute this high profile case and we'll just, you know, eat some sandwiches and act like fools. I just, I cannot believe for one second that this is a decision that was just made by spineless ass bitch ass Acosta. I am sorry, but I think that is just scratching the surface and that is nowhere near deep enough for us to get the answers that we need in this specific situation. Acosta Blindly handed authority to Krisher to craft the crucial parts of the secret Epstein deal that allowed Epstein to escape a 60 count federal indictment as long as he pleaded guilty to two state prosecution charges. Let me read that for you again. 60 count federal indictment turned into two state prostitution charges. You really think that Acosta has that power? He just waves a magic wand and all of those felonies go away? 60 federal indictments go away. Zero chance, folks. And I, you know, I'm sorry that I'm driving that point home so often, but I see so many people so many times turning their ire completely onto Costa. And as I've said, he deserves it, right? He deserves to be maligned, he deserves to be ridiculed, and he deserves to be hammered in the press. But it shouldn't stop there. Remember what I'm always talking about. The pitchforks and the torches need to focus their rage at the right people and mid left bureaucrats. While it might make us feel good if they get toppled, if they lose their jobs, if they, you know, they get caught up in an embarrassing scene and they're caught, it might make us feel good. But at the end of the day they, they'll just be replaced by another mid level bureaucrat. Until we get to the real problem, until we get to the real meat in this dish and that's the people that provide all of this money to these politicians. Until we focus our ire on them and our rage at them. This is a story that's just going to continue to replay over and over and over again. Because you can take out all the mid level operatives you want like Acosta, but the real problem are the people above them. While investigators said the non prosecution agreement was unjustified and ill advised from the outset, any hope that it would lead to real punishment for Epstein disappeared when Acosta ceded authority to Kreisher. As a four term state attorney, Krisher knew the rules of Florida criminal justice system. Federal prosecutors did not. Well, that's a cop out. I don't even want to hear that shit. This is the federal government we're talking about. They could have had a local attorney, state, state attorney general, or a state prosecutor on retainer to walk them through
Co-host/Interjector
the
Bobby Capucci
loopholes of the legalese of the state statutes. But they didn't. They let Krisher and his office have the reins. They let Krish and his office do the thing. And what that did was it added another layer of plausible deniability for the f heads at the top of the CIA and the FBI. Right? That's what they always want, layer upon layer upon layer. Like any organized crime enterprise, Krisher used his knowledge. So loopholes were in the agreement that Epstein, with the help of his high powered legal team, was able to exploit. Look, Krisher needs to be held accountable, folks. He needs to go to jail. That's my honest opinion of this guy. He was a key cog in what happened here was without him and his meddling, Epstein would have did. Would have been in prison for a million years. But Krisher, at the behest of the federal prosecutors, put his fingers into the pie, mixed it all up, pulled his fingers out, and we were left with a shit pie. Evidence repeatedly showed that Krisher was predisposed to manipulating the process in Epstein's favor. Investigators wrote, this is all damning stuff, right? And while we covered the initial drop of the DOJ investigation, this goes deeper into the state level. And as you all know, I've always thought that at the state level was where the real, the real big problem was here. And I think that Krisher needs to be arrested, and I don't say that lightly. Right. In my opinion, Krishna needs to be charged with some sort of negligence in this case or something. There has to be a way for him to be punished and to face some sort of repercussions for his behavior. You can't be in a position like he was in, can conduct yourself the way he did and get off scot free. There's no way in hell that that should occur, in my opinion. For instance, because language in the agreement wasn't clear, Epstein was housed at the Palm Beach County Stockade, a minimum security facility that was known for its lax rules, instead of at the county jail as federal prosecutors intended. So again, remember when we're out there and you see people yipping, yawing and hawing about Acosta and, and they're so adamant that it's just Acosta and it was all his fault and all his. Remember this article that we're reading here and refer back to it if you must. The state prosecutor's office in this case has and always will be the biggest problem here. Even though federal prosecutors insisted he be locked up continuously, Epstein was approved for work release.

Epstein.
Bobby Capucci
But yet he gets all these special privileges afforded to him by Barry Krish. And then the feds will say, well, we handed it off to Krish, your state department state, our state prosecutors, it's their fault. And then the state prosecutors blame the federal prosecutors and we have this hodgepodge of bullshit, get that stupid report that comes out, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And the only people that are holding anyone accountable are the local papers in Florida. It would seem the Palm Beach Post has been great about this. They've been all over this, this portion of the case from the beginning. And they have been of the same mind as myself when it comes to Barry Krisher and his office. They are big time villains in this story, in my opinion. What sort of disgusting prosecutor works behind the scenes with a scumbag like Jeffrey Epstein to try and undermine the allegations of these little girls? If that doesn't get you fired up, folks, you better check your pulse. Further, Epstein was able to circumvent what Acosta described as one of the most crucial parts of the agreement. When Acosta agreed not to pursue federal charges, he said he wanted to make sure Epstein was forced to register as a sex offender so he couldn't continue to prey on teenage girls anymore. However, when Krisher charged Epstein with soliciting of a minor for prostitution, he chose a victim who was 16. Even though evidence showed at least one of the teens he molested was 14. The survivor's age made a difference, investigators wrote. Of course it did. The older the girl is, the less the charges are going to be, right? Them using the 16 year old and not the 14 year old got Jeffrey Epstein. The lesser charges, meanwhile, protected him and threw all of these little girls under the bus. And when I say little girls here, folks, we're not talking about 18 or 19. We're talking about 14, 15 and 16. We're talking about the Palm beach portion of this sick son of a bitch's disgusting criminal crime spree. 14 years old. And Krisher, this disgusting, smarmy, scumbag son of a bitch, uses the 16 year old instead to manipulate the ruling by the court. It meant the Palm beach resident, who also had homes in New York, New Mexico, the Virgin Islands and Paris, didn't have to register as a sex offender when he visited his sprawling ranch in New Mexico.

The age of consent in new Mexico is 16. So again, right back to New Mexico. All roads lead to Zorro Ranch, don't they? Funny how that place has still never been raided, huh? But that's okay. I'm headed back there in February, I think. Or March, one or the other. Probably the end of February like I've thought. And I'm going to do some more investigating. I'm gonna spend some more time at the Santa Fe Institute. I'm gonna drive down to Los Alamos and get an idea of just how far that is from Epstein's ranch. And I have a few other irons in the fire down in New Mexico as we speak. Hopefully I'll be able to talk to my sources down there again. Hopefully that occurs. Hopefully they'll be able to be available. And I have also been talking to a couple of new sources in New Mexico that certainly have a tale to tell. Epstein bought the ranch in New Mexico with this in mind. He knew the age of consent laws. He could have had a ranch in Nevada or Colorado, or he could have had a ranch anywhere. He chose New Mexico, A, because it's close to the Santa Fe Institute in La Salle, and B, because of these laws. After Epstein was found hanged in a Manhattan jail cell in 2019 while facing multiple charges of child sex trafficking, New York prosecutors said he had exploited teens at his 10,000 acres Zorro ranch near Santa Fe. So where is the subpoenas? Where are the warrants to kick in the door and wave in your 4?
Co-host/Interjector
4?
Bobby Capucci
Where's any of that in Zorro Ranch? How come that's not occurring? And folks, by the way, if you notice, I haven't even talked about the nonsense that people. The person who said, well, we saw Jeffrey Epstein drive up to our gate. That did not occur, okay? And it, it makes everybody look like a whack job when you have these people out there making those sorts of allegations. So do better. If you're out there and you're protesting at Zorro Ranch, I totally support that for sure. But don't make up any wild, weird conspiracy theories, okay? Please. We have enough real shit that's mind blowing in this case. That wild made up conspiracy theories aren't needed. Save it for your Reddit can't sleep thread or whatever the hell it is you got going on. Krisher was aware that different states have different rules for sex registration because one of Epstein's attorneys explained it to him in a 2006 letter, investigators said. Unfortunately, they said Acosta and his team didn't do the same research. Or they did and they ignored it. That's not possible. You really think they didn't do their research, huh? Pretty sure they did their research, but they just ignored it. More significantly, Krisher misled federal prosecutors about what state charge would require Epstein to register as a sex offender. It was Epstein's own legal team that contradicted Kisher's erroneous assertion in time. So the correct charge was filed. Imagine that. This guy is such a bumbling idiot, such a buffoon, that the defense had to fix his filing charge to make sure it was the right one. So there was no prosecutors in this case the first time around, folks.
Co-host/Interjector
Not at all.
Bobby Capucci
It was the state of Florida, the federal government, Jeffrey Epstein and his high profile lawyers against poor girls from broken homes who had nobody standing up as their surrogate, who had nobody standing up for their rights, who had a court system who failed them, a prosecutor who did not care, and unfortunately, a populace who was left in the dark due to the negligence of the legacy media. How in the hell is this non prosecution agreement still standing? Yet despite this evidence, which at least suggested that the state authorities should not have been considered to be a reliable partner in enforcing the npa. Acosta did not alter his decision about proceeding with a process that depended completely on state authorities for its successful execution. Investigators wrote. Again, I don't believe it was Acosta. I believe, and this is me being cynical again, right? I believe that the Department of Justice and the federal prosecutor's offices wanted it to look like this, right? They wanted it to look like the. The state government flubbed the ball. If it ever came back to haunt them, they're certainly not going to make it look like they screwed the pooch, right? So Acosta was left holding the bag as the front man for sure. But really, I've said it from the beginning. I. I truly believe that the state prosecutor's offices Office here needs to be fully eviscerated. They need to be held to account for what they did folks, and for the way they conducted themselves. There's no prosecutor's office in the whole entire country that should be taking the side of a sex offender over the 14, 15, 16 year old high school girls that he or she abused. That should never occur. These prosecutors should be the biggest advocates for these girls. Once a case is brought, they shouldn't be working behind the scenes to undermine them or their their case. At first, Krish was gung ho. That many believed Krisher had no interest in prosecuting Epstein for luring teens to his home for sex should come as no surprise to Acosta, who stepped down as US labor secretary in 2019 after questions were raised about the sweetheart deal he helped negotiate. The case was brought to Acosta's office by Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Ryder, whose agency had uncovered Epstein's lurid scheme during a year long investigation. And Michael Ryder was one of the only heroes in this whole entire sordid ordeal. In my opinion. Michael Ryder was one of the good guys. He brought this case to light. He went after Krisher's office after they didn't want to send it up top after they were going easy on Epstein. And Chief Ryder was a hard charging man who really wanted to get to the truth of this. While Krysher was initially gung ho about pursuing the case, Ryders said the state attorney's enthusiasm quickly waned after Epstein's lawyers peppered him with the teens MySpace pages, which they used to portray the girls as willing participants and worse. Krisher decided their claims were incredible. Ryder said, yo, I got news for you. If this was my kid and this asshole state's attorney prosecutor here tried to use their MySpace page to demean them and under undermine their credibility, it would have been on. I would have gotten a contempt of court charge and I would have had to been escorted out of that court. I would have lost my shit. Furthermore, I would have worked as hard as possible for the rest of my life to make sure that Krisher and company were held responsible. Assistant State Attorney Lana Bella Belholovac told investigators there simply wasn't enough evidence to charge Epstein with unlawful sexual activity with a minor and lewd and lascivious molestation of a minor as police wanted. Bullshit.
Co-host/Interjector
Absolute bullshit.
Bobby Capucci
A mountain load high. We're talking Everest stacked on top of of Everest high. There was no evidence, huh? Unbelievable. Instead she said, Instead she said she offered to let Epstein plead guilty to a charge of aggravated assault while he wouldn't have to serve any jail time. He wouldn't be allowed to have any unsupervised contact with minors during his five year probation. Epstein rejected the offer. Of course he did. Look how easy that would have been. No jail time. And he wouldn't be allowed to hang out with unsupervised minors in his five years. Well, that's okay, because don't worry, Glenn and Eva Dubin will let you hang out with their daughter, Uncle Jeffy. What sort of deals were these? Right? We went from 60 federal accounts to aggravated assault. I mean, how can anyone look at this and not see that this is completely f ed, that this has not been completely and utterly manipulated? But now the house of cards is tumbling down, folks.

because of independent content creators and investigative journalists that have worked hard on this case. It's not just a little piece of the curtain that's been pulled back. We've pulled the whole damn curtain back. And everyone's getting a whole big eyeful of the filth on the other side. Later, Krisher convened a grand jury that indicted Epstein on a single charge of solicitation of prostitution. There wasn't any recognition that he paid women as young as 14, women as young as 14 to give him massages. And that led to disrobing, fondling, and sex. We're talking 14 years old, folks. 14 year old girls coming to his house for massages, fondling, and sex. If you throw out everything that we've discussed after Palm beach, even him, Ghislaine, Maxwell, and the rest of them should be in prison for the rest of their lives, never mind adding on all of the other crimes that were committed elsewhere and. And the financial crimes on top of that. Just what happened in Palm beach alone makes this guy and his criminal enterprise some of the most disgusting, prolific sex traffickers in history. But by then, Ryder had already gone to the FBI, who had dubbed the investigation Operation Leap Year because Police initially identified 29 survivors. I knew that it didn't really matter what the facts were in this case, it was pretty clear to me that Mr. Krisher did not want to prosecute this case. Rider said in a deposition. For sure, Chief Rider said that from the jump, and that's why they went over his head and brought the feds in. And even when the feds. Feds came in, even though the feds at first were going to charge Epstein with 60 counts, the pressure started to come in hot and heavy from Epstein's attorneys and they pulled the right levers up top. And my guess is Mukase and his band of criminals put this all into motion because of the leverage being put on them and the pressure being put on them by Epstein and his high profile attorneys. During a May 2006 meeting, Palm beach police Detective Joseph Ricari warned that Epstein's attorneys used hard knuckle tactics.

Assistant U.S. attorney Marie Vilafana told investigators Recari said pressure had been brought to bear on Krisher by Epstein's attorneys, recalled Vilafana, who worked in Acosta's West Palm beach office and spearheaded the federal investigation. What did I just tell you? Pressure had been brought right and right here they say it on by Epstein's attorneys and not only by Epstein's attorneys. I'm sure they were buoyed by federal prosecutors and I don't mean Acosta. I'm talking the big wigs on high, folks. Epstein was represented by Harvard law professor Allen I kept my underpants on Dershowitz and nationally known defense attorneys including Jay Lefkowitz and Gerald Lefcourt of New York and Roy Black of Miami. But once Krisher was involved, Epstein hired West Palm beach defense attorney Jack Goldberger. You see how that works. Goldberger, local guy, has an in with Krisher, their buddies, favorable deals coming your way. And so the wheel spins and the spokes gleam. According to Ricari, Goldberger was hired to force Assistant State Attorney Delilah Weiss, known as an aggressive prosecutor, off the case. Because her husband worked in Goldberger's firm, Weiss had to step aside. Again. The manipulation of the legal system by Epstein's attorneys is right there in your face. They made these moves behind the scenes. They used loopholes to try and get Weiss off, got her bumped and then pursued the case the way they wanted to pursue it without the interference of Weiss. But investigators said there was likely another reason Goldberger was asked to join the defense team. The longtime defense attorney had a relationship with Krisher. Of course he did. That's how this hull works, don't you know? What? You don't think Christian Everdell, Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyer and ex prosecutor in New York, has a relationship with the prosecutors? I'm sure he does. Epstein's wealth enabled him to hire multiple attorneys who had pre existing personal connections to some of the government attorneys involved in his case in the State Attorney's office, in the USAO and elsewhere in the department, they wrote. Based on the attorneys Epstein selected to represent him, a reasonable inference can be drawn that Epstein believed that hiring attorneys with relationships to the prosecutors would be beneficial to him. And of course it would be. That's how this all works, right? That's how this works. These guys have these relationships. That's what you're paying for as well. You're not just paying for their legal advice right in the courtroom. You're paying for all of their connections as well. Recognizing that she was up against aggressive legal heavyweights, Vilafana alerted her top bosses in Miami and including Acosta, that they would be inundated with calls about the case. Vilafana said that she had never before asked to meet with executive management about initiating a case. But the allegations that Epstein had improperly influenced the State Attorney's office greatly troubled her, investigators wrote. Over time, other top officials in the U.S. attorney's office came to share Vilafana's view that Krisher had bowed to pressure. Look again, I'm not going to lionize Vilafana, but I won't demonize her either. She was the only one that had any sort of plan here, the only one that was really going hard, the only one that really wanted to send Jeffrey Epstein up the river, it looks like. So I'm not going to demonize her either. But at the same time, if it was me and I was in her position, I would have rolled over, played whistleblower, no matter the cost. It would have had to my career. And I think that is a black mark against her. Right. In a case like this, and as a prosecutor, your number one goal should be to protect people. And if that doesn't occur because of pressure from on high, then you have to step up and you have to

put a,

an end to it.
Co-host/Interjector
Right?
Bobby Capucci
You have to be the one to make the step, to take the step to stop the corruption, to stop the nonsense. And Villafana didn't do that. But what I will say is this. From all of the stuff we have heard, all of the reports we have read and seen, she seems to be the only one in that office that truly tried. So I definitely will give her that. All right, folks, that's the end of part one of this article. We're going to pick up part two tonight during the Daily Drop. I didn't it'll probably run another half hour or so, so I didn't want this episode to be too long.

What's up everyone? And welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. If you ever really want to know about something, you have to start at the beginning, right? Well, when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein, it's no different. And when you look at his disgusting ass behavior throughout the years, it all started really with the case in Florida that was dropped by Barry Krisher. And it's something that we've talked about at length here. You know, you have people that want to attack Alexander Acosta, and there's no doubt the dude's a slimy scumbag, but he certainly wasn't the main villain of this story. I would say that Perry Krisher is a way worse villain in this story than Alex Acosta could have ever been. Today's article is from the Palm Beach Post and the headline fell twice. Jeffrey Epstein's Victim's Statutory Rape Case Dropped
Bobby Capucci
by Early Prosecutor Barry Kersher.
Co-host/Interjector
This article was authored by Holly Baltz. The first ever prosecutor of Jeffrey Epstein failed to pursue a statutory rape case reported by a girl who would become one of Epstein's victims a year later. Despite the adult admitting they had sex, the 14 year old told police in 1998 that two male teenagers, ages 17 and 18, had raped her in an area known as the Woodsies in Loxahatchee. According to a police report recently released amid Epstein related court documents, all three told the police that they had had sex. Please tell me how Barry Krisher isn't the bad guy here. And then you have Ron DeSantis talking about how if he was elected for President that he would take care of the Epstein stuff, he'd have stuff get released, blah, blah, blah. Well, he can't even do that in his own state of Florida. His home state of Florida here is at the center of this maelstrom and there's nothing happening. Nobody's being held accountable. Where's Barry Krish at? Why isn't he being deposed? Oh, that's right. Because nobody who is in a quote unquote official capacity knew anything.
Bobby Capucci
Right?
Co-host/Interjector
Nobody knew what was going on here. And if you think anything otherwise, well, you're just crazy. It's illegal for an 18 year old to. To have sex with a 14 year old, whether it was consensual or not, according to Florida law. Then Palm Beach County State Attorney Barry Krish's office dropped sexual battery charges against both defendants, including the adult. However, citing the girl's lack of credibility, the report says, and that was his go to. This guy destroyed his own witnesses time and time again. And it's about time that Barry Krish called out into the spotlight. So this is a great article by the Palm Beach Post. We've talked about this man multiple times here on the podcast. Whole ass episodes. And that's because he played a huge part in what happened. This dude could have forced the issue. He could have made sure that Epstein did serious time. He could have made sure that all of these girls who were abused, well, that they got some justice. But he didn't do any of that. And then he was able to just continue on with his career, his life, like nothing ever happened. Everything's all good here. Nothing to see, folks. There was no indiscretions that took place. Her credibility at the time was irrelevant, said Spencer Kuvan, an attorney who has represented Epstein's victims. If the 18 year old had said the two had sex, that's an admission of guilt and statutory rape. He added. Yeah, I guess it is, right? I mean, that's what the law says. So how come is it Jeffrey Epstein wasn't charged with statutory rape? How come he wasn't hit with a whole ass kitchen sink? Under the law, children under 18 cannot consent to, with an exception for 16 and 17 year olds having sex with someone younger than 24. You know, that's probably a good law, honestly, because there's some gray area there, right? You're talking about kids that might have been in high school at the same time, whatever it might be. And I know there's laws around the nation that govern that sort of stuff called like Romeo and Juliet laws. But that obviously doesn't apply down in Florida. So the law is what it is. And if you're out here and you're out here trying to bag 16, 17 year olds or whatever, and you get caught up, you should get hammered by the law. Whatever the law says in the state, you should get prosecuted to the fullest extent of. Is statutory rape for an adult 18 or older to have sex with a person who is 15 or younger? Consent isn't a defense in statutory rape cases. So why didn't Krisher's prosecutors pursue it when all three said they had intercourse? That case was absolutely prosecutable, and it was just par for the course. Barry Kersher had no respect for these girls who were being abused. That's really what it comes down to. He didn't care. They weren't his kids. They were just some throwaway girls from the other side of the tracks. That's how this scumbag looked at him. Just another piece of garbage who was in a position of power who did nothing. State attorney Barry Kersher torpedoed his own case against Jeffrey Epstein. The decision by a Kersher's office to drop charges was no surprise. He had a pattern of not prosecuting or under prosecuting sex crimes cases involving teenagers, as he did in the Epstein case. The Post found in a 2019 analysis of his sex crime cases. Like, if you don't want to prosecute people for simple possession, okay, I get it. But you're not gonna prosecute people for this sort of shit. Then what kind of dirtbag are you? Like, what are you even doing in that job? Aren't these the kind of people that you should be going after in the first place? People who were hurting kids, people who were a threat to the community. But nah, I'm gonna do whatever Jeffrey Epstein's lawyers want me to do. A 2006 grand jury presented with the Epstein case by Krish's office came up with only one solicitation of prostitution charge, despite the fact that Palm beach police had found nearly two dozen girls or young women who told similar stories of abuse at Epstein's mansion. Grand jurors heard from only one victim who whom the prosecutors undermined with her MySpace pages. Sources told the Palm Beach Post in the 2019 investigation. The social media posts had been supplied by the state attorney's office by Jeffrey Epstein's lawyers. Yeah, By Alan Dershowitz. You're a real big man, aren't you, going after little girls like that? Real big man, Alan Dershowitz. Oh, that's just his job. I get it. Okay, fine. But really to destroy the credibility of a little girl who. Who had been diddled by Jeffrey Epstein because she had a MySpace page where she said she liked to drink and maybe, you know, date a boy or two. God forbid a teenager wants to be a teenager. And I think it's important to point out that people want to talk about all the salaciousness in this case. They want to talk about all the nonsense when it comes to celebrities and all the rest of it, but nobody has the time, it seems, for the long form conversation that's needed. And if you want to get into that conversation, you. It has nothing to do with evil spirits. It has nothing to do with the plot of the evil Jews or anything like that, okay? It comes down to the financial sector fucking around being scummy and people like Barry Kersher carrying their water this whole entire time when Epstein should have been in prison. That's what it comes down to. There's no spiritual plot. There's nothing to do with the occult. None of that bullshit. And anybody who's pitching it, man, I don't even know what to say. Honestly, enough is enough. Stop wasting time. Stop wasting other people's time, and let's start holding people to account. How about that? The Post sued in 2019 so that the public, and especially the victims, could find out what exactly happened during what are normally highly secretive proceedings. In May, a panel of the fourth District Court of Appeal ordered the trial court judge to review the transcripts, redact them, and release them to the public under a furtherance of justice provision of Florida law. Hallelujah. Like, hallelujah. Just because the grand jury records usually aren't turned over doesn't mean we have to never turn them over, right? This is an extraordinary circumstance, and it should be treated exactly like that. In July, Judge Luis Delgado received the transcriptions of the audio tapes from the Palm Beach County Clerk's Office where they had been stored under seal. He has not released the transcriptions to the public. Yo, Judge Delgado, you should do exactly what Judge Preska did and release all of this because the public deserves to know. 50% of rape survivors are assaulted again. The girl who said that she was raped met Epstein the next year. Nearly 50% of survivors of sexual abuse are assaulted again in the following years, according to the World Health Organization. A lot of times the. The reason is these girls end up having mental problems, right? Issues because they were abused. And then they get into sex work or they get into stripping or whatever it might be because they feel like there's nothing else for them. And we know that that's not the truth. But it's very easy for us to say that if we're not living it. It's very easy for people to judge. Right? It's a whole different story for people to have compassion. And there's a lot of times that women who have been raped or who have went through this kind of assault, they're still stigmatized in society. So it makes their self worth, you know, plummet and it leads to this circular life of abuse. A lot of times the reason is not scientifically established. But in a cruel irony, multiple reports of rape can make law enforcement and others doubt the victim's stories. In February of 1998, the 14 year old had joined the male teens to go out drinking. She said she was drunk, according to the report by a Palm beach county sheriff's detective. When the three arrived at the woodsies, she passed out, she said. When she awoke, the 18 year old was on top of her forcing sex, the report stated. At that point, she said she told him no, but the other teen assaulted her as well. After that, she added that the 18 year old assaulted her again later at his home. Whoever this is who assaulted her should be beneath the prison. But why would bumblin Barry Krisher want to do that? Both males told detectives that they had had sex with her but never heard her say no. According to the 18 year old, she told them she was going to sleep and said something about whether they were going to do something about it. A victim's inebriation could actually increase the penalty for sexual battery on a minor. In Florida, a person who assaults a victim who is physically helpless could be looking at a first degree felony punishable by a life sentence. Physically helpless means unconscious, asleep or any other reason physically unable to communicate. Unwillingness to enact, according to the Florida statute, certainly fits under that, doesn't it? But these dudes, that's okay. These kids, they were just having a good time, I guess. Statutory rape is a second degree felony punishable by up to 15 years in prison. How Krecher's lack of zeal on teen sex crime cases led to ghastly acts it wasn't the first case involving a teen victim that Kircher's office dismissed, only to see more horrific acts by the suspect. Kreisher was lauded as a champion for children in the community. He worked to keep sexually violent child predators locked up beyond their prison sentences under the Jimmy Rice Act. Before he became state attorney, Krisher served as the attorney for the Child protection team in Palm Beach county from 1983 to 1992. Once in office, he added three prosecutors to the crimes against children's unit, assigning his most talented prosecutors there. But when it came to teen victims, it was another story. And their social media, like in the Epstein case, appeared to do them in. The only thing that I can take from this is that Barry Krisher didn't find what was going on here. Wrong. And that's a whole story unto itself, right? Former high school softball star Amanda Buckley met a horrific end after Krisher ignored earlier's sexual assault case. Two teens ages 18 and 19 told investigators from their hospital beds in November 2006 that Jason Schenfeld had bound them with duct tape and threatened them with a knife and with his pit bull if they didn't perform sex acts. Kreischer didn't charge Shenfield. Eighteen months later, Amanda Buckley, an 18 year old star at Palm Beach Gardens High School, was found raped and strangled to death in Shenfield's closet. Duct tape was in her hair. So all the signs are there. And when you have a bitch ass prosecutor like Barry Krisher, this is what happens. This is what happens when you have somebody that doesn't really care, somebody that's a fellow traveler and somebody that's, you know, out here making pretend that he's this crusader for children, but the reality is he's not. The proof is in the pudding. During the investigation of the two teens case, Shenfield's attorney supplied their MySpace pages to prosecutors. The teens later said prosecutors focused on inconsistencies in their stories, not similarities. But one teens account of the incident and the order of occurrence were very consistent with the interview of the other teen without any indication of being exact or scripted, A sheriff's detective wrote. Shenfield's attorney also planned to bring up Buckley's MySpace pages in the murder case. But Shenfield pleaded guilty to first degree murder, kidnapping and sexual battery. He was sentenced to life. Well, yeah, if you find a girl in the guy's closet and she's dead, yeah, chances are my man's guilty. The case of McKinley Daddy Desert. They drugged me, sold my body, and beat me. Krisher did not prosecute McKinley Daddy Desir after he was arrested in December of 2007 on charges of aggravated child abuse and procuring a person under 18 for prostitution, among other serious felonies. That shouldn't even be a law. We talked about this a whole bunch and it's the most ridiculous shit ever. Daser would take young runaways hostage, give them drugs and turn them into prostitutes, according to police court documents. Two aggravated assaults and battery cases involving young women were dropped in 2009. The FBI investigated him five years later and charged him with sex trafficking by force. Bee Vee, a 17 year old from Palm beach county, was one of the two main victims. She didn't provide a victim impact statement, but the other young woman, C.J. whom Dezear had picked up after she got out of Boca Raton Treatment center, did. They took me, shut me in a room where I was isolated, they drugged me, sold my body and beat me, C.J. said. DeSear is serving three life terms in prison. Not the only case Krish didn't prosecute. Involving teens all of the defendants pleaded guilty to lesser charges. None got more than a year's probation. William Chadroff, 44, arrested on charges of molesting a child or young teen under 16 at the mall in Wellington Green. Stephen F. Collins, 39, charged with lewd molestation involving a 14 year old girl. Thomas E. Martin III, 26, charged with impregnating his neighbor, a high school student. Todd C. Corzine, 41, charged with sexual battery and lewd and or lascivious battery involving a teen girl over a period of years. So there's Barry Kirscher's resume. Are you impressed? I'm guessing you're not. And if you haven't figured it out yet, neither am I. Alright folks, that's gonna do it for this one.

Host: Bobby Capucci
Date: July 2, 2026
This episode is a deep-dive into the central role played by Palm Beach County State Attorney Barry Krischer in securing lenient treatment for Jeffrey Epstein in his original Florida criminal case. Host Bobby Capucci meticulously unpacks recent Palm Beach Post investigations, outlining how Krischer, in concert with Epstein’s defense attorneys and abetted by hesitant federal prosecutors, systematically undermined justice for Epstein’s victims. The episode critiques institutional rot, the manipulation of bureaucratic levers by high-powered legal teams, and the shameful prioritization of power and reputation over victims’ rights. Capucci also explores Krischer’s broader pattern of mishandling sex crime cases involving teens.
[01:32–04:20]
“The feds never defer to local like this in a case like this. But yet they deferred to the local prosecutor and let Jeffrey Epstein face state charges instead.”
—Bobby Capucci [05:18]
[04:20–10:46]
"If they went after Acosta, right, and tried to help hold him responsible in this report, they'd have to go all the way up the top. And the just US Department certainly isn't setting that precedent, folks."
—Bobby Capucci [10:39]
[10:46–15:26]
"The report comes one year after the Palm Beach Post ... detailed how Krisher crippled his own case by working with the defense and treating Epstein's teenage survivors like prostitutes instead of victims."
—Bobby Capucci [12:48]
[17:28–29:06]
"Krisher ... uses the 16 year old instead to manipulate the ruling by the court ... The older the girl is, the less the charges are going to be."
—Bobby Capucci [27:58]
[29:06–37:27]
“The only people that are holding anyone accountable are the local papers in Florida, it would seem. ... They are big time villains in this story, in my opinion.”
—Bobby Capucci [25:31]
[37:27–41:48]
“This guy destroyed his own witnesses time and time again.”
—Co-host/interjector [49:02]
[48:39–End]
“So there's Barry Kirscher's resume. Are you impressed?”
—Bobby Capucci [54:43]
On accountability:
“Krisher needs to be held accountable, folks. He needs to go to jail. That's my honest opinion of this guy. ... There has to be a way for him to be punished and to face some sort of repercussions for his behavior.”
—Bobby Capucci [21:27]
On the Florida legal system’s complicity:
“What sort of disgusting prosecutor works behind the scenes with a scumbag like Jeffrey Epstein to try and undermine the allegations of these little girls? If that doesn't get you fired up, folks, you better check your pulse.”
—Bobby Capucci [26:52]
On institutional blame-shifting:
“And then the feds will say, well, we handed it off to Krish, your state department, state prosecutors, it's their fault. ... and we have this hodgepodge of bullshit ... and the only people that are holding anyone accountable are the local papers in Florida.”
—Bobby Capucci [25:31]
On the pattern of under-prosecution:
“State attorney Barry Kersher torpedoed his own case against Jeffrey Epstein. The decision by a Kersher's office to drop charges was no surprise. He had a pattern of not prosecuting or under prosecuting sex crimes cases involving teenagers, as he did in the Epstein case.”
—Bobby Capucci [49:43]
