That right there is the most under-reported aspect of this very smelly story.
a. Sleeping guards don't hear screams.
b. So who heard them?
c. Any CO that wrote in his report/leaked about hearing screams well before the dead body was found and they DIDN'T check out the screams is an idiot. CO's/Cops don't tell on themselves when they're trying to CYA.
d. Likely leaked out from an inmate on the tier who heard the screams AND heard the responding Officers say, "Breathe Epstein breathe." That is a curious detail and snatch of conversation to be reported. No?
e. An inmate could get that info out via telephone call, letter, attorney, or visitor. And on to CBS.
f. Any LEGITIMATE investigation would interview ALL inmates on the tier at the time of the incident.
g. There were inmates in neighboring and adjoining cells who would have heard any ruckus from Epstein's cell. That's what inmates do. They listen. Ain't got much else to do.
h. I'll investigate this case. I used to solve jail house crimes for a living. All they gotta do is ask and, like inmates, I ain't got schiff else to do presently.
i. I'll run a clean investigation. Promise.
