I hear you but I figured perhaps the family asked the lawyers to make the request. Perhaps the lawyers advised the family to do that. I don’t know the legalities of such a request or demand, and who has standing to make such a request.
Even in cases like this, their are often family members who cling to various hopes of innocence or just want the truth, even if they hate what the person did.
Q
Until I hear “family”, I assume it is just lawyers. You could be right but one never reads anything about any family members in news about this dirtbag.
Epstein does, and he likely did through his lawyers. Nobody likes sitting in a cell with nothing but a suicide garment (or paper jumpsuit) or butt-ass nekkid.
