William Kennedy Smith appears in 23 documents, primarily in news articles and investigative reports about Jeffrey Epstein's legal case. His name is mentioned exclusively in the context of comparisons to other high-profile Palm Beach legal cases.
William Kennedy Smith does not appear as a participant in any Epstein-related activities. Instead, his 1991 rape trial in Palm Beach is repeatedly cited as a historical reference point when discussing Epstein's legal defense strategy. Multiple documents note that Roy Black, the attorney who successfully defended Smith and secured his acquittal, was later recruited to join Epstein's legal team. The mentions serve to illustrate the pattern of wealthy defendants in Palm Beach hiring high-profile criminal defense attorneys, with Smith's case used as a precedent example alongside other cases like Rush Limbaugh's drug charges.
