https://apnews.com/11ae6142bbb84af49daae80b94f1b4e2WASHINGTON (AP) Federal prosecutors offered a plea deal to two correctional officers responsible for guarding Jeffrey Epstein on the night of his death, but the officers have declined the offer, people familiar with the matter told The Associated Press.
The existence of the plea offer signals the Justice Department is considering criminal charges in connection with the wealthy financiers death at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York in August. The citys medical examiner ruled Epsteins death a suicide.
The guards on Epsteins unit are suspected of failing to check on him every half hour, as required, and of fabricating log entries to show they had. As part of the proposed plea deal, prosecutors wanted the guards to admit they falsified the prison records, according to the people familiar with the matter. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not permitted to publicly discuss the investigation.

Don't go down for someone else. But if it's true they didn't check on him they should be punished.

Just might be proof that they staged his getaway. I would not be surprised to find that Epstein isn't even dead.
