Judge sets tentative June 2020 trial for Epstein
Jeffrey Epstein appeared in Manhattan federal court with no visible injuries after his arrest on sex trafficking charges. Judge Richard Berman floated a June 8 start for a four to six week trial, though defense lawyers said readiness would push it past Labor Day 2020. Epstein has pleaded not guilty and remains jailed after bail was denied. Prosecutors urge swift trial while defense seeks to address double jeopardy and the non prosecution deal from years ago.
