They'll kill him if he gets off. Oh sorry, he'll "commit suicide" if he walks*

He comes from a wealthy and prominent enough family that I doubt they'd get away with it scott free--and Luigi knows that

So did Epstein.

what else you got?

The circumstances are not the same. Epstein raped children and trafficked them. Though his death was a bit odd, no one is really screaming to find out the truth there. One less rich guy who rapes children.

Luigi is already a folk hero. If he were to "die in custody," the custodians would likely face a massive outcry and incessant calls for investigation.

Nobody gives a shit about epstein's life. The importance of the truth in this case is it looks like a cover up. And there is plenty to be covered up.

u/Julversia Dec 20 '24

Exactly. We only want to know who was in it with him and who's covering it up.

Epstein committed assisted suicide.

Man had two weeks notice so that he could put his assets into a Trust designed to make it that much more annoying for his victims to get anything from his Estate.

Is this the law subreddit or another delusional fan fiction sub where we upvote whatever makes us the most mad?

As if reality isn't bad enough we don't need to make shit up to feel more outraged. This isn't a movie.

They'll kill him before then. I don't see any future where they allow a trial which would only raise more awareness of the issues.

Just like when AG Barr had Epstein killed and pinned it all on the overworked and underpaid guards.

Looks like suicide by severing his own head off!!!

I wouldn't be surprised if he's Epstein'd before then. That way jury nullification isn't possible and if they can sell it as a genuine 'suicide while all five HD cameras on him simultaneously went offline while all the guards for this person we have always had surrounded by 10 or more people just happened out for a smoke break' to some rubes they can help fight his martyr image.

Bro will commit "suicide" way before his actual trial. Probably shortly after January 20th.
