This document is an initial brief of appellant Bradley J. Edwards in the case against Jeffrey Epstein, appealing a summary judgment from the Circuit Court. The brief argues that the trial court erred in applying the litigation privilege to bar a malicious prosecution claim. The brief discusses the history of the litigation privilege and malicious prosecution claims in Florida and other jurisdictions, arguing that the litigation privilege should not apply to malicious prosecution claims. The brief also critiques the Wolfe decision, which held that the litigation privilege bars malicious prosecution claims, and argues for the reversal of the summary judgment.
