Epstein's defense attorney
Roy Black was a prominent Miami criminal defense attorney who represented Jeffrey Epstein and played a key role in securing Epstein's controversial 2008 non-prosecution agreement with federal prosecutors in Miami. Black, along with co-counsel Martin Weinberg, negotiated the plea deal that allowed Epstein to avoid federal charges and serve only 13 months in county jail with work-release privileges. Black also actively intervened in subsequent litigation to block disclosure of DOJ correspondence related to the plea agreement. Black died in July 2025 at age 80. There is no evidence that Black himself faced criminal charges, arrests, convictions, or civil suits in connection with the Epstein case.
