I would not be surprised if it really was a suicide. I will be surprised if he was not allowed to do it.

“Epstein should have been moved to a different facility outside the hopelessly corrupt SDNY after his first “suicide attempt”.”

Yes. I mentioned that on another thread yesterday.

I’d say even without the first attempt it should have happened.

“At the very least, military personnel should have been watching over him instead of incompetent/corrupt federal personnel.”

Yes. Something to that effect.

I really thought, given how everyone was talking about how he was going to die before trial, that they’d be diligent in protecting him.

I really did not think he would die because they’d make sure he didn’t.

Now it’s a big mess.

Bunch of garbage. They gotta have a fall guy to take the rap for his “suicide” when they know perfectly well he was killed. This is unbelievable this could happen in America.

Okay how was he found hanged when a former inmate described the cells as suicide proof? Nowhere to hang anything.

As JRandomFreeper used to say, nobody suspects the cook.

Perhaps the menu had a dinner with a glass of Arkancider?

I rather doubt they will live long enough to spend it.
