Without knowing any more than reading the NY Times account, it's hard not to conclude, tentatively, that

a) Manhattan jail authorities are criminally negligent.

b) Someone may have kinda sorta allowed this to happen.


The man had clearly tried to hang himself a few weeks ago.

If you think you’re surprised Epstein killed himself last night, imagine how surprised he must have been.

If you think looting is bad wait until I tell you about civil forfeiture.

Well, I will wait for more evidence before I conclude that he was murdered.

Same here. Too many conspiracy theories to choose from.

quote:
Last month, a week after being denied bail on federal sex trafficking charges, Mr. Epstein was found unconscious in his cell at the jail with marks on his neck. Prison officials had been investigating that incident as a possible suicide attempt.

Mr. Epstein had been on suicide watch after he was found injured on July 23 and received a daily psychiatric evaluation, according to a person familiar with his detention. He was removed from suicide watch on July 29 and returned to the special housing unit, a segregated area of the prison with extra security, this person said.

Who gave that order? Should be easy enough to ascertain. Only six days on suicide watch???

As someone on Twitter said today, suicide watch doesn't mean you watch them commit suicide.

On the plus side, it's my understanding that legal arguments about illegal search and seizure go away, because he was the only one with a cognizable privacy interest. (Just as an example ... if they were his materials, he could have provided them voluntarily to prosecutors and Individual 1 could not have no one could have stopped him.)

Epstein's apparent suicide is unfathomable

... lays out the reasons why this should not have been able to happen, yet it did.

Within hours — maybe even minutes — of news breaking that hedge fund manager and convicted sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide in his jail cell, discussion immediately turned to one of Epstein’s most powerful former friends: former President Bill Clinton.

As of this writing, “Clintons” is the number two trending term on Twitter, with basically every top tweet promoting, rebutting, or otherwise discussing conspiracy theories that Bill and/or Hillary Clinton had Epstein murdered. The hashtag #ClintonBodyCount blew up as well, complete with a competing #TrumpBodyCount hashtag popping up in response. And (naturally) right-wing conspiracy theorists are arguing that the latter hashtag’s popularity is a sign of Twitter’s left-wing bias:

My God, they’re already covering it up. Twitter has completely replaced the hashtag #ClintonBodyCount with #TrumpBodyCount on the trending newsfeed even though the numbers were higher.

The media bias is UNREAL at this point. pic.twitter.com/38QBO7HBIB

The conspiracy theories even spread within the Trump administration. Lynne Patton, regional administrator at the Department of Housing and Urban Development in charge of New York and a former event planner for the Trump family with no prior experience in housing policy, posted a screenshot of a news story on Epstein’s death to Instagram with the caption “Hillary’d” and the hashtag #VinceFosterPartTwo.

The Clinton stuff is clearly a distraction. I'm trying to find new-worthy facts as opposed to high school gossip.
