The young victims of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein will get a second chance at seeking justice after an entire appellate court agreed Friday to rehear claims that federal prosecutors in South Florida violated their rights when they kept them in the dark about a secret plea deal with the now-deceased Palm Beach multimillionaire.

The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals vacated a previous panel’s 2-1 decision that rejected a petition by one of Epstein’s victims. She sought to undo the agreement that federal prosecutors struck with Epstein not to charge him with trafficking girls for his own sexual pleasure more than a decade ago.

After two boys were operating a lemonade stand were robbed at gunpint
Peoria police responded with support and kindness...

"When he arrived at the scene, Peterson found something he didn't expect:
Police officers had surrounded the lemonade stand, buying cups of lemonade
and "paying maybe $20 each for it," trying to make the kids feel safe again.

"The officers and police chief got out of their cars and talked to the boys
and told them how much they supported them. They gave them a donation
and took turns buying lemonade. It just made them feel so safe and encouraged."

The Peoria Police Department posted a video on Facebook showing police cars
lining up the street and officers purchasing cups of lemonade from the boys."

This story reminds me of that kindness Midnight1 showed to that guy in the parking lot...

So that good feeling didn't last too long....this:
