Given the choice of choosing between human genius or human stupidity for someone being caused harm, you are almost always better off selecting stupidity. That’s a truism, and it underlies the argument that, as a result of an unfortunate string of irresponsible and negligent actions by the MCC federal jail in New York City, accused pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was able to kill himself in custody. However, “almost always” is not the same as “always”, and in this case logic, both legal and practical appears to point otherwise.
At the very least, in investigating Epstein’s death, federal authorities should pursue the case not as an accidental death, but as murder. Murder requires proof of intent to kill. Ordinarily, a series of negligent actions that led to a suicide would rule that out, leaving the worst available potential charges against Epstein’s jailers some form of negligent homicide or manslaughter.
But the law recognizes that in cases of extreme negligence (or recklessness) intent to kill can be imputed. This theory is often termed “depraved heart murder.” A textbook example of this somebody firing a gun into the air during a crowded celebration or other gathering. A bullet comes down and kills someone in the crowd. It doesn’t matter that the shooter lacked the direct intent to kill, his actions were so negligent that the law imputes it.
In the official version of the Epstein case, at least as has been made public, we have a virtually unbelievable string of irresponsible and negligent actions by MCC authorities leading to the suicide. It goes as follows:

ROLCONs here disagree.
What does ROL mean?
The Authorities Should Know that Epstein was Murdered
- How much more obvious could it be.
What authorities? Working for whom?
Anyone on here who is a coroner or pathologist I’d love to hear from them a good analysis of the autopsy findings.
Everyone else by definition knows nothing but their own assumptions based on their own fears and biases, so not that interesting to me.
Assumption is a weak way to investigate anything.
I suspect it stands for “Role Playing ‘Conservatives’”. IOW ShareBlue Stalwarts.
Will find out the truth after a three year IG Report.

Whattya know, it’s actually not easy to find a definition.

I think the guy was murdered, no question. The simplest explanation is usually the right one, so in many cases this would fit just fine.
But not in this one.
He was a unique prisoner with keys to many secrets that many powerful people would want to ensure stay hidden.
He was famous.
It wasn’t like he was a stalwart of the community who was caught diddling little boys and decided to off himself in shame because his life couldn’t go on. This guy had already been up on various charges like this, and it was widely accepted and well known (as he full well knew) that he was a person involved in shady sexual enterprises and encounters.
He was also a chickensh*t who wouldn’t have offed himself. He was a coward by nature.
I think anyone who believes this is only one of three things:
1.) Naive
2.) Stupid
3.) A Leftist ideologue
There are no other options, IMO.
“I think the guy was murdered, no question.”
I agree.
Funny how the Epstein killed himself crowd here says the same thing:
“The simplest explanation is usually the right one, so in many cases this would fit just fine.”
bkmk
The simplest explanation is “usually” the right one, but...in a case where a whole boatload of other somewhat improbable things have to line up...it no longer is the “simplest” explanation...that is for certain!
Given the choice of choosing
They do to need to assume: They already know that he was murdered or removed.
They will never admit the truth of anything to the electorate who pay for their lies.
Yes, but the good news is:
The barn doors are now being closed and locked. The next time a world-famous, sex-trafficking, multi-millionaire pimp with the dirt on the global elite is incarcerated in a Federal prsion, the stalwarts will be able to keep him alive. Well done, Bill Barr!

The principle is: The simplest explanation that takes into account all the known factors is probably the right one - not merely the simplest one.
Comparing Jeffrey Epstein to any random non-famous, non-wealthy pedophile is not taking into account those two extremely salient factors.
He had an adult lifetime jet-setting with the global elite, committing crimes in virtually broad daylight in multiple countries. He still had his money, lawyers, contacts, and other assets.
His history was that of a selfish and self-indulgent narcissist who thought he could get away with just about anything - and had in fact done so for years.
I do not know the truth. I doubt I ever will. I absolutely distrust my government to speak the truth.
But no, I do not believe it is most likely that someone like him would so quickly opt to commit suicide.
