❓ WHAT HAPPENED: A judge has ordered the release of a document purported to be a suicide note written by pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein, a month before his death in 2019. The note, which was unsealed on May 6, mentions a months-long investigation that “found nothing” and states that it is “a treat to be able to choose one’s time to say goodbye.” 📰 DETAIL: The seven-line note was allegedly discovered by Epstein’s former cellmate, Nicholas Tartaglione, tucked inside a book after a reported unsuccessful suicide attempt in July 2019. Tartaglione, a former police officer later convicted of four murders, had previously discussed the note publicly and denied accusations from Epstein that he assaulted him in jail. Federal prosecutors and The New York Times both sought the document’s release, arguing there was no longer a justification for keeping it sealed. In his ruling on Wednesday, Judge Kenneth M. Karas said public access to the note would promote accountability and confidence in the justice system, adding that Tartaglione’s public comments waived attorney-client privilege protections tied to the document. Epstein’s death was officially ruled a suicide, but ongoing scrutiny over security failures at the prison has fueled years of speculation surrounding the circumstances of his death. Jeffrey Epstein’s brother, Mark Epstein, has claimed that the death was murder, and that a peer-reviewed pathologist’s report will prove this. 🎯 IMPACT: The release of the note has reignited speculation about Epstein’s death. The veracity of the note remains ambiguous, however, with some claiming that physical evidence shows Epstein was actually murdered. 💬 KEY QUOTE: “It is a treat to be able to choose one’s time to say goodbye. Watcha want me to do – Bust out cryin!! NO FUN – NOT WORTH IT.” – Alleged Epstein suicide note. |
