but what james patterson wrote about in a book and what julie reported on, are pieces of evidence that unless you had as a prosecutor reason to believe that the witnesses were unreliable and the victims were unreliable, which may have been the case, it may have been what motivated alex acosta. why not pursue a case that would result in a more serious sentence than what ended up happening? >> yeah. and he used the term "roll the dice." and that is a term that trial lawyers use because you never know what a juror might do. these cases are difficult, especially if you have child witnesses that you're going to have to rely on. you don't want to have to revictimize them. so taking a sure thing plea does have value. but if you've got evidence of child pornography with a 15-year mandatory minimum, that's a great backstop count to include in your case. and often times what you see is charging the riskier charge of sex trafficking like this one with the fear that perhaps the victims won't testify as strongly as you might like them to, but including a child porn charge in there makes it very str

you know, in the james patterson book "filthy rich" a nonfiction book about this, he details how indeed that trump threw epstein out of mar-a-lago after epstein was hitting on the young daughter of a mar-a-lago member. he took that young girl back to his mansion, according to the book, and then asked her to disrobe. the girl told her father who told trump who then kicked epstein out of the club. so that part does have some corroboration in trump's story. on the other hand, it is clear -- you saw the video that came out that trump and epstein were pals back in the '90s. they were running buddies, so yeah, so i think that deposition could show something. but i have to say this, i don't think that we'll end up being a deal with epstein. remember the last time that the feds entered into a deal with epstein, it ended in the 2007 nonprosecution agreement. and a guy like epstein who is a registered sex offender and accused child molester they don't make great witnesses on the stand in future cases. >> is he at this point though denied bail, a man with nothing left to lose because maybe there i
