He was being falsely accused

You cannot prove that either way since there was never a proper investigation. If I was innocent, I'd gladly subject myself to that to prove my innocence beyond any doubt.

Either implying that he is guilty or that he is innocent but her false accusation got to him, so fuck him for not maintaining his cool on a situation that can ruin his life because of some lying bitch.

Yes, he can fuck right off back to his six-figure income doing something else. Again, not the life or death situation you're making it out to be.

You’re just biased as shit and want any excuse just to use against him.

You're the one presuming his innocence based on absolutely nothing. I simply disagree with degrading the integrity of the Supreme Court in order to allow some entitled trust fund manbaby to feel special. Neil Gorsuch is obviously a partisan hack, but I had no such objections to his confirmation, because he was at least able to keep his shit together and act like an adult for an hour or so during his confirmation hearing.

Let's try to stick to the topic at hand though, shall we? We aren't going to agree on this and there's no use in litigating the past.

Epstein has been denied his requested bail. Glad we seem to have a judge with a conscience presiding over this case.

U.S. District Judge Richard Berman on Thursday turned aside Epstein’s bid to be confined to his Manhattan mansion, where he had offered to pay for armed guards and wear an ankle bracelet showing his location.

“I doubt that any bail package can overcome danger to the community,” the judge said.

While also noting that the wealthy money manager might flee, Berman rested his decision on the threat Epstein posed to alleged victims and potential witnesses. He noted the “compelling testimony” at a bail hearing Monday from two women who said Epstein had sexually abused them when they were teens.

Forthcoming within a matter of days are 2,000 pages of documents expected to reveal the names of numerous powerful and wealthy individuals with close ties to Epstein.

A legal document expected to be released within days is likely to reveal allegations of sexual abuse by “numerous prominent American politicians, powerful business executives, foreign presidents, a well-known prime minister, and other world leaders” with ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Vanity Fair reported Wednesday.

The document will be unveiled by the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, which is hearing a defamation case brought by Virginia Roberts Giuffre, one of Epstein’s accusers, against Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime friend.

“It’s going to be staggering, the amount of names,” a source with litigation against Epstein told Vanity Fair. “It’s going to be contagion numbers.”

I didn't make a determination on whether he's guilty or not, I only stated that he is blatantly unfit to serve on the supreme court. And that's even if he had been proven innocent beyond all shadow of a doubt, which he wasn't.

You're the one presuming his innocence based on absolutely nothing.

You're supposed to presume a person's innocence, until proven guilty. You're insistence that Kavanaugh, or anyone accused of misconduct or crimes, needs to prove their innocence is misplaced.

The law is supposed to presume a person's innocence until proven guilty. Unfortunately, justice is not blind, and that presumption of innocence often depends on a person's ethnicity, wealth, and circumstances. Additionally, neither my opinion nor public opinion are restricted by the letter of the law.

Epstein was found injured in his cell after a likely suicide attempt, though assault hasn't been completely ruled out. Prosecutors might use this as evidence that Epstein knows he's guilty.

Lisa Bloom, a lawyer who represents some of the Epstein accusers, tweeted Thursday that neither her clients nor she "wish suicide upon anyone, not even a recidivist predator who has tricked and hurt so many women."

"We want him to stay alive to face the justice and accountability which is so long overdue," Bloom tweeted. "And it's coming."

Child molesters typically don't survive jail.

Aaand he's dead.
How could he kill himself on suicide watch... Really makes you think.

 

[GhostLatte]

Something very suspicious is up here.

Apparently he was taken off suicide watch just before committing suicide. Very suspicious indeed, someone almost certainly got a big payoff.

even on suicide watch, i feel like some people underestimate just how quickly you could kill yourself if you really wanted it

A pedophile on suicide watch... "Here's a rope. I'm going to look away for 5 minutes. What you do with that time is entirely up to you."

"We can get you out but it's going to cost you a big chunk of that fortune. We'll stage it as a suicide. You'll have to leave the country forever"

"Oh, take half my fortune, there are children all over the world" - he said.

PS: too soon?... "dear SarkW, you shouldn't joke about some topics"... oh well.

Welp, he's gone to hell now...
Hope his victims will be able to move on with their lives, trust me he's getting eternal life in prison now...

 

[Chary]

He’s dead, by “suicide”, and no one is surprised. At least trash got taken out.

 

[Viri]

Well, at least he saved the tax payers their money! Also, on a different topic, they found the CEO of Activision-Blizzard's name/email in his "little black book".

A hypothetical cosmic punishment does nothing to bring justice to his very real victims.
Regardless, this was not only about the victims "being able to move on", but bringing the rest of the perpetrators to justice so that there be no more victims.

Well, to each his own but yeah, they need to catch his pals.

Recently unsealed documents show both Bill Clinton and Donald Trump had flown on Epstein's private jet. No proof that either engaged in pedophilia...yet. Plenty of other rich/powerful figures are facing accusations of that in connection to these documents, though.
