Guards did not properly surveil accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein in the hours leading up to his death, according to reports from the Washington Post, New York Times and Associated Press.
Epstein was not checked on for “several” hours before he was found dead on Saturday, according to a person familiar with the matter who spoke to the Post. Authorities believe Epstein died by suicide because he was found hanging in his cell, but the New York City medical examiner released a statement Sunday evening saying she could not make a full determination on Epstein’s cause of death until she had more information, according to the New York Post.
Epstein was reportedly supposed to be checked on every 30 minutes and should have been given a cellmate. The person assigned to share a cell with Epstein was transferred on Friday and never replaced, according to the Washington Post. Epstein was reportedly on suicide watch after an initial apparent attempt on his life, but only for six days.
The guards responsible for Epstein were also working “extreme overtime shifts” to make up for a lack of staff, the AP reported.
The convicted pedophile was awaiting trial on federal charges that he ran a sex trafficking ring with underage girls in the early 2000s.
“Several hours”…Okay…it takes a least 24 hours to do what “Epstein” (wink) pulled off
Ah yes, the ‘overworked guards’ excuse. This keeps getting better and better.
“but the New York City medical examiner released a statement Sunday evening saying she could not make a full determination on Epstein’s cause of death until she had more information.”
There is going to be a steady stream of vague reports, conflicting with other vague reports. Sourcing is going to be a nightmare for reporters and readers following this. Because there are a lot of vested interests in putting out misinformation as much as their is in putting out information.
In the case of Barr, I try to use my imagination:
I imagine the Amazon jungle…from distances of 1,000,000 miles, 250,000 miles, 2,000 miles, 200 miles, 20 miles, 2 miles, 200 feet, 20 feet and finally 2 feet
The latter being a indescribably dense connectivity of tentacle-like jungle.
And I think of Barr and this caper of his…and his fervent desire to be 1,000,000 miles away from this one.
Can he pull it off?
Has anyone seen a picture of the cell in which Epstein supposedly killed himself? I have now seen in several places statements indicating that these cells are supposed to be ‘suicide proof’, in that it should be impossible to hang yourself. I have not seen a picture in any of the articles I have read up to now.
