Epstein's Lawyers don't believe he committed suicide.

This is what I was thinking. He was with them 12 hrs a day. Surely they would have been concerned/noticed if he showed any signs of despondency or suicidal thoughts.

Jeffrey Epstein’s lawyers highly ‘skeptical’ of suicide ruling, say he wasn’t ‘despairing, despondent’ before death

A defense lawyer for Jeffrey Epstein on Tuesday expressed deep skepticism that the wealthy financier died by hanging himself in a Manhattan federal jail while awaiting trial on child sex trafficking charges, as a medical examiner has ruled.

The injuries suffered by Epstein are “far more consistent with assault” than suicide, the lawyer, Reid Weingarten, told Judge Richard Berman in U.S. District Court in Manhattan during a hearing.

Weingarten cited the defense’s own medical sources. Broken bones were found in Epstein’s neck during an autopsy after he died Aug. 10.

Here's a link to my first post about his lawyers: https://www.democraticunderground.com/100212367108 of August 10, 2019.

I wasn't satisfied with the answers and I posted again on August 11th and the answers I got were even more disappointing. Here is the link to that post: https://www.democraticunderground.com/100212370154

Check out the answers I got on this thread from the people here at DU. Surprising to me!!!!

Now 21 days later - his lawyers are finally speaking up?

Did you bother to catch any of the testimony of the victims the other day?

Yes - I did catch the victims testimony the other day. And they are denied being able to confront Epstein and they might get no closure from the crimes that he committed along with those so-called men that he played to.

Where I'm at is that if he didn't commit suicide and was offed by someone - we should know that. As if he was offed by someone - those that did the offing are just as guilty as Epstein.

Yes - it is the lawyers job to serve their client. And Epstein needed his day in court to have a jury of his peers determine whether he was guilty or not. We'll not be able to see that happen now.

But his lawyers were close to him during his time in this jail and they knew best Epstein's state of mind. They are now questioning whether it was suicide or not. We should be questioning that as well.

I'm not satisfied by what I've heard in the press regarding the details surrounding Epstein's death. To many convenient happenings surrounding it.

So I'm still questioning it. I have a right to my opinion.
