I'll Ask This Again - Have Epstein's Lawyers Made Any Statements Yet?..... [View all]

They were the ones closest to him since he's been jailed. They should have heard directly from Epstein - what happened in his cell 3 weeks ago when we heard that he might have attempted suicide.

His lawyers should have had a good sense of what his current 'state of mind' was after that incident.

Was Epstein depressed. despondent and hopeless? Did he try to off himself ? Was he prone to suicide?

OR

Was Epstein afraid of being in jail? Was he attacked in his cell then? Did he express to his lawyers that his life was in danger?

It would seem to me that if anyone knew Epstein's current 'state of mind' - it would be his lawyers.

Have they made a statement yet? One would think that they would be the first to comment on his death and either confirm that he was suicide prone or deathly afraid of being killed.

The lack of any news coming out of this jail regarding this death is very suspicious to me. Why aren't we getting any details surrounding his death?
