Epstein lawyer skeptical of suicide ruling

Posted by / August 28, 2019

One of Jeffrey Epstein’s defense lawyers is deeply skeptical that Epstein actually committed suicide. The attorney argues that Epstein did not seem depressed, defeated, or despondent in the days before his death, and that Epstein’s injuries seem much more consistent with assault.

Federal investigators have subpoenaed employees at the jail where Jeffery Epstein killed himself. The subpoenas follow the employees’ refusal to cooperate with the investigation into Epstein’s suicide.

William Barr opened an investigation into Epstein’s death, citing irregularities that led to his suicide. The guards who were supposed to be watching him were, allegedly, asleep. The prison where Epstein was held was also, allegedly, nearly “suicide proof.”

Conspiracy theories began almost immediately after Epstein’s death. Denizens of the internet (particularly Twitter and Reddit) were of one mind about the suicide: that it was orchestrated to keep Epstein from publicly implicating powerful people involved in his alleged sex-ring.

The flames of conspiracy were fanned earlier this week when Epstein’s representatives hired Michael Baden, a pathologist for famous deaths, to do his own autopsy. Worse, even before Baden has had his chance to do an autopsy, the state autopsy discovered broken bones in Epstein’s neck.

Epstein’s death was ruled a suicide, but that hasn’t ended the conspiracy theories. Hopefully investigations will reveal whether guards were paid off, allowing Epstein to kill himself. Some speculate that outside actors paid the guards and forced, coerced, or convinced Epstein to kill himself.
