Unsealed documents show Manhattan DA Cy Vance knew Jeffrey Epstein should have been designated a Level 3 Sex Offender (the most serious classification under NY law) but instead argued he should be designated Level 1 (the least serious). The question is why.nypost.com/2019/04/11/da-…
The case was before Judge Pickholz who said, “I have never seen the prosecutor’s office do anything like this. I have done many [cases] much less troubling than this one where [prosecutors] would never make a downward argument like this.” nypost.com/2018/12/01/man…
The judge went ahead and classified Epstein as a Level 3 Sex Offender over the DA's objection.
Cy Vance later claimed his office had made a mistake and misread the law.

This explanation is just not believable. The DA's office does hundreds of these hearings a year. The law is not difficult to understand. And they always push for the highest possible level classification.
Contrast this with the way his office prosecutes poor Black and Brown people for sex crimes. theappeal.org/two-cops-said-…
His office is rotten to the core. He needs to be voted out. @shaunking
PS The documents were unsealed in April 2019.
