Graphic content warning: This story contains information about suicide and other graphic themes
When Mark Epstein heard the news his brother Jeffrey had died by suicide in a Manhattan jail cell, he thought that made sense. Jeffrey wouldn’t want to spend his life locked up. He had no reason to doubt it.
“I fully expected them to come out of the autopsy saying, ‘It’s unfortunate, but Jeffrey committed suicide.’ But that’s not what happened,” he told the ABC.
The independent pathologist who Mark hired to attend the autopsy believed the death looked more like a homicide. The New York deputy assistant medical examiner conducting the autopsy said she required further information before making a ruling.
Maybe her death switch is still operative or maybe she is still seen as useful. I mean why assume she’s less of a devil than her husband ? And also does it really matter? Here in Belgium we have an unfortunate experience with pedo and for each the wife / companion were as much to blame as the main perpetrators. And knew seemingly as much to matter.
Because she’s named in very few of the lawsuits as defendant, and all the victim testimony indicates that she primarily groomed them and occasionally participated in the rape? Because she is included in very few of the financial and political conversations in the files? If she played a bigger role, don’t you think she would have featured a little more prominently in both of those categories?
You don’t need insider knowledge, a solid decade of court transcripts, victim statements, and emails are right there to read.
Or perhaps you just prefer thought-terminating cliches.
Maxwell obviously is entirely complicit in trafficking, abuse and rape. But the eugenics, political manipulation, and money laundering were pretty clearly Epstein’s bag.
