There's no doubt that whatever they get up to behind closed doors, from what we've all seen, that entire crowd - the Podestas above all - have somehow managed to acquire the most abysmal art collections in living memory. Perhaps in all of human history. Expensive, of course. Good street cred within a very narrow set too. But you'll find better stuff behind the reception desk of a deserted caravan park in Skegness.Bokkom wrote:Maybe now is a good time to dust off those old hackneyed conspiracies again.hermes-trismegistus wrote:It's sad really.

Yes. A number of reputable outlets are reporting that he had several broken bones in his neck. Apparently, although these injuries don't rule out death by hanging, they are more consistent with strangulation.AlanBengio wrote:I read that the autopsy underlined neck injuries more common to homicide cases than suicide ones.

This is not a strong argument. Other than being perfectly circular it ignores the obvious suicide risk. A man who had everything now ruined, universally reviled, facing life in prison as a child sex trafficker.hermes-trismegistus wrote:It did occur to me that there is a straightforward explanation for Epstein coming off suicide watch: he wasn't at all suicidal. The psychologists, the medical professionals, the prison management, and Epstein's lawyers all believed he wasn't a risk because he wasn't.
My 10 second Wiki refresher says double jeopardy 'prevents an accused being tried again on the same charges and on the same facts, following a valid acquittal or conviction.' Surely the known facts and charges are quite different and Epstein knew he would die in prison either sooner or later....we now hear his legal team were working on what could have been a perfectly serviceable defence - double jeopardy - I really can't see what incentive he had to call time on everything without first sticking around to see if it worked out...
All of this remains true. So far as an obvious suicide risk being 'allowed' to hang himself, I'm reminded of the adage, 'never attribute to malice which can be explained by incompetence'.Occams razor says yes [committed suicide].
1) Didn't he have enough reason to do so ?
2) Hadn't he already demonstrated a desire, & an ability to do so ?
3) If his prior, failed, attempt wasn't authentic; why didn't his Lawyers scream bloody murder & get him moved ??
...and most importantly
4) If you really wanted to murder someone; would you pick a Federal facility, where you have to pass thru a dozen levels of security, & are background checked before being admitted, & are under CC surveillance every step of the way ?
He'd dodged the bullet before, thru his influence, & now it must have been obvious to him that he was going to spend the rest of his life in prison, & in, 'special units'. He was fucked, & he he knew damn well he was.

Remove all unnecessary assumptions and he most likely killed himself, but you wouldn't rule much out. It's got everything. Conspiracy gold. One minute you're ridiculing QAnon for certifiable theories of international pedophile rings among the global elite, and the next...

Stuff like the O.J. trial gets trotted out. The O.J. trial was as much about whites versus blacks as it was whether O.J. really killed 2 people. Johnnie Cochran's M.O. was he represented the oppressed black man in a white system. If he won, it's not his fault the prosecution did a bad job. If he lost, that shows how much of a white system it was to sentence in his opinion an innocent man. Regardless of result, he was a hero to the people he wanted to represent.hermes-trismegistus wrote:Couple of points.

Irresistible.
1 - His reputation was ruined and his name reviled since the mid 2000s when he was charged in Florida. The Lolita Express was a pretty hideous byword for the man that everyone - including all of us - had heard of. This was a situation he had been living with for over a decade, without any attempts at suicide. This was a man who had no problem living under a cloud, as long as he was left at liberty to get on with his life.
2 - He had no idea what kind of sentence he was going to receive, or even if he would get one at all. We've all seen trials like OJ's. Justice is relatively straightforward to buy in the US provided you have the pockets, which he did. A coterie of top end lawyers and anything's possible. It's also the case that the kerfuffle he had in Florida had been significantly diminished by whatever sort of bargain he managed to strike there. There's no reason to suppose he wouldn't attempt the same MO a second time. In short, on the surface, he had everything to play for. If he was going to top himself, it would make far more sense for it to happen after a conviction and sentence, not before. Not unless you're one of life's natural pessimists. Everything we know of the man points in the opposite direction.
3 - On the issue of double-jeopardy. Whether we think it might fly or not as a defence, there's no doubt that's where his lawyers were going. And, notwithstanding your accurate reading of the definitions, I doubt they were second raters granted to him by the state who decided to take a punt on a fanciful longshot. They were almost certainly top performers with a realistic strategy.
4 - I get where Fishoodie is coming from. But a) we actually don't know yet that he tried to kill himself before. There are plenty of rumours that he was instead attacked. Neither has received official corroboration yet. b) His lawyers - people we're told he was spending up to 12 hours a day with - were amongst those advocating he not be subject to the intrusiveness of a suicide watch. And c) whilst no one would choose to off a problem personality in a federal prison when they could do so much more easily outside, it may well be the case that no one expected him to end up there in such short order, and in circumstances that looked so potentially permanent. The fact that he did - as he stepped off a plane - would, one imagines, have placed a rather large cat amongst the pigeons. If there actually were people worried that he might be able to incriminate them, it instantly became incumbent on them to get to him before he walked into a courtroom, irrespective of where he was being held.
5 - Finally, the principle of Occam's Razor cuts both ways. With so many coincidences and peculiarities surrounding events that night in the prison and in the time leading up to it, it's not over the top to ask the question: at what point do we entertain the idea that all these chance accidents of happenstance were perhaps not so coincidental. This is not at all unreasonable. In fact, it would be, I'd imagine, the starting point for anyone who was given the task of getting to the bottom of the affair.
