FBI studies two broken cameras outside cell where Epstein died: source

(Reuters) - Two cameras that malfunctioned outside the jail cell where financier Jeffrey Epstein died as he awaited trial on sex-trafficking charges have been sent to an FBI crime lab for examination, a law enforcement source told Reuters.
Epsteins lawyers Reid Weingarten and Martin Weinberg told U.S. District Judge Richard Berman in Manhattan on Tuesday they had doubts about the New York City chief medical examiners conclusion that their client killed himself.
The two cameras were within view of the Manhattan jail cell where he was found dead on Aug. 10. A source earlier told Reuters two jail guards failed to follow a procedure overnight to make separate checks on all prisoners every 30 minutes.
He had been taken off suicide watch prior to his death.
The cameras were sent to Quantico, Virginia, site of a major FBI crime lab where agents and forensic scientists analyze evidence.

(44,974 posts)So far we have:
Epstein removed from suicide watch.
His roommate transferred from the cell, despite the fact that Epstein was supposed to have had a roommate.
Guards not checking on him every 30 minutes as supposed two.
And two cameras malfunctioning?
All coincidences, I am sure.

(44,974 posts)Which I really think isn't expected of the type of hanging he supposedly died from, where he wasn't even hanging but rather kneeling.

(9,894 posts)who work for government arent surprised. Everything is obsolete, ancient, and broken all the time. I dont know what happened to Epstein, but nothing that supposedly happened in that prison surprises me a bit. Id be more surprised if they were able to pull off a conspiracy.

(31,261 posts)Broken cameras should have been noticed on screens that earlier guards should have been watching.

(9,894 posts)It could have been 22. The whole system could have been broken. Its government.

(31,261 posts)facilities such as power sources or have a backup power source that is redundant. To have two in the general location malfunction is pretty abnormal, but would not surprise me given the national mindset is to view prisons as dumping grounds that deserve sparse operating funding.

They're stretching credibility to the breaking point.

not_the_one
(2,227 posts)it was an assisted suicide. That is almost as bad as murder.
They should have to account for ALL cameras, and which ones were out, or working.
If it was just those two......
