I still don't expect him to live long enough to turn states evidence.

witness protection is too good for Epstein.

I’m sure that’s how a majority of his victims were after he was done with them



That is a truth that hurts ones soul. They were just children.

on the part of those who he could implicate if he squealed. I don't believe, based on this report alone, that this was cliche anti-child-molester jailhouse justice.

and if so, that does not feel like something other inmates would do...they usually go for things that involve blades and a lot of blood.

Had not thought of self inflicted/attempt to be moved. Makes a certain kind of sense tho.

He knows too much about too many very powerful people for his own health. So we need to keep him healthy through the trial.

From all accounts, he is clever. If you are threatening to other people, ..cough cough...those tapes he made...cough cough...you would have it known that if anything happened to you, all would be exposed.

Or maybe somebody doesn't want him to talk, and decided to give him a taste of what can happen if he does.

Who knows, honestly.

I came here on a jury and don't know all the details but Epstein is a high-profile rich guy and they're not going to leave him unguarded. So that means the guards.

end up as a huge scandal bringing down all of the wealthy perverted socialites. That shit doesn't happen in the real world. This investigation will end in Epstein's untimely death, sooner or later.

IF it was attempted suicide, there would be some sort of ligature remaining around his neck, or lacerations on his wrist, or whatever.

It makes no sense for them to say they have NO idea.
