    Mm, I do appreciate your write up and viewpoint, however it does not address some of the details. One being the tampering of footage the night of his death, and if I recall correctly, one of the guards receiving a large payment. Among a myriad of other data points pointing towards sketch.

      The footage thing is a game of telephone that the internet has played with itself.

      There was no footage of the cell itself, because there are no cameras in any cells except those used for suicide watch. Epstein was pulled off suicide watch.

      Internet sleuths keep demanding footage of the cell itself, which flies in the face of how prisons run.

      There is footage of the cell block hallways leading to and from Epstein’s cell. The footage there shows no people entering or exiting the hallway. Which leads to the next part.

      The guards falsified records. They were both actually asleep on the job, but had filed statements saying they were awake and alert and watching the prison. The footage showed that neither guard did any rounds that night. They didn’t do rounds the night before, or even the week before. They basically just didn’t do rounds at all.

      They were both prosecuted for such, but got off because law enforcement sleeping on the job is just sort of accepted…

      I can’t find anything about a payoff.

        People want shadowy conspiracies to exist because the world makes more sense that way. “The prison guards were lazy and careless” is simultaneously the most likely scenario and the one most rejected by “truthers”.

        Do these people think jails are hotels run like clockwork with constant vigilance and 4K video of every corner?
