‘Suicide’ Watch

CNBC reports Jeffrey Epstein’s lawyers take issue with the autopsy findings for their client.

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 told the judge that when he and other defense attorneys spoke to Epstein shortly before his death “we did not see a despairing, despondent, suicidal person.”

I’m thinking his attorneys have lots of company when it comes to their view of how Epstein died.
