    Lea Black, his wife, told the Miami Herald that he always “fought for the underdog and people’s civil rights.”

    “He understood that we all have our flaws…He was able to separate people’s behavior from their character. He wanted the best for everyone,” she said.

    I knew love was blind, but this is bordering on black hole levels of blindness.

      Actually I respect it. Its easy to view this comment from her to be about Epstein when the article mentions him specifically, but a person’s career is more than the 1 bullet point people become known for. I didn’t follow his career so I dont really know.

      I think everyone deserves representation in court, no matter how heinous they are. If they have a multi million dollar defense and still go to prision… that fucker is guilty. When they are stuck with some overworked public defender, it starts to raise doubts even when it would otherwise be an obvious case.
