I don't think he's diddys type, too old

Did we just skip the trial?

Jail, not prison, if that helps, though it isn't exactly a precise distinction

It's pre trial detention. The P. Diddy trial hasn't started either, and Epstein was also murdered before there was any trial.

His lawyer is Karen Friedman Agnifilo.

As in.. Meidas touch network Agnifilo.

Makes sense, I guess

How is she involved with them? Is she the network’s lawyer or something?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

She's a contributer? They had her on nightly during the trump trial. She used to work in the Manhattan DAs office.

Now she's like a hotshot high profile cas lawyer. Her and that other guy seem to always get the bigger cases where there isbgoing to be a big media component.

Meidas touch is easily one of the biggest news channels on YouTube

Not sure of their reference, by maybe the mythical King Meidas?

Wished everything he touched turned to gold, only to learn the folly of his wish?

Apparently the network spells it as Meidas.

I think certain languages spell it like that rather than Midas, but I don't know if it's a reference to Midas or not.

Seems it's a progressive journalism and media network.

What's not funny? The murder part or the rape part?

Did you miss the whole Weird News thing and think this was humor?

Elaborate, please. We're dying to hear the reasoning behind your spurious comment.

'Mario and Jeffery Epstein jailed in the multiverse' comes across as a joke.
