this sounds more like a conscience taking its toll on his health
Coin flip of whether it is just age or the tying of a loose end. Regardless, enemies of the Regime should just run with the latter narrative.
Actual headline:
Jeffrey Epstein’s Former Attorney Who Secured Plea Deal Dead at 80
Jeffrey Epstein’s Former Attorney Who Secured Plea Deal Dead at 80
damnit, and I like a good conspiracy too… /s
He was also sick before it happened, per Newsweek.
What’s with the headline - “found dead?” His law partner said he died, at 80, after a long illness. Nowhere in the article, following that headline, did it mention he was “found dead,” which, juxtaposed in the same sentence as Epstein, makes it sound nefarious, when in fact, it was just an old guy dying after an unnamed prolonged illness. My guess would be cancer. Not exactly a “found dead” context.
Probably something like, “found dead in his bedroom when the nurse went to check in on him in the morning”. My MiL died in hospice, at home; she wasn’t hooked up to a ton of machines, so we don’t know exactly when she died. She was dead when my spouse woke up from napping.
Interesting how you, a seemingly random commenter, seems to have personal knowledge of the death of a lawyer with ties to Epstine.
How did I do?
Can’t we just do the GOP playbook and make up a bunch of bullshit, spread rumours, intentionally ignore the facts and live in dipshitland? The answer is no but I do wonder what it’s like over there
No that just allows differently colored snakes to take over, we don’t beat this by stooping to their level — at least not that level.
Mysteriously
Lea Black, his wife, told the Miami Herald that he always “fought for the underdog and people’s civil rights.”
“He understood that we all have our flaws…He was able to separate people’s behavior from their character. He wanted the best for everyone,” she said.
I knew love was blind, but this is bordering on black hole levels of blindness.
Actually I respect it. Its easy to view this comment from her to be about Epstein when the article mentions him specifically, but a person’s career is more than the 1 bullet point people become known for. I didn’t follow his career so I dont really know.
I think everyone deserves representation in court, no matter how heinous they are. If they have a multi million dollar defense and still go to prision… that fucker is guilty. When they are stuck with some overworked public defender, it starts to raise doubts even when it would otherwise be an obvious case.
Wtf - what is character if not behaviour?
Funny how these assassinations only happen when trump is president
Even though this dude was 80y old, that won’t stop far-right conspiracy theorists from running with this. I think most will be sane enough to point out his age, but you know there will be those on the fringe of the fringe who see something suspicious about it. Personally, I look forward to seeing the melted explanations they come up with.
Donald Trump is 79.
Lol, lemmy theorists will not be far behind. Lucky he didn’t work for Boeing, too.
No but I bet he flew on one at some point, so it’s all linked.
Stop posting sensationalist shit. The dude died at 80, this wasn’t an assassination. He wasn’t ‘found’
Its Newsweek.
OMG! He’s missing!!?
He‘s out there somewhere
Yeah, but what happened to the Dufresnes?
Sir, there is no nuance here.
(Seriously though I don’t like so much ragebait on Lemmy either)
Donald Trump is a child rapist
Are you talking about Donald J. Trump the child rapist?
Stone cold take. Let’s face it if he weren’t in those files he would have released them. He has no loyalty to anyone else so he wouldn’t care about protecting them.
always supported and fought for the underdog
I have a hard time imagining a world where Epstein, Bieber, the Kennedys, or any of their ilk could be considered underdogs. Good riddance.
News like this is all too typical for the US these days. There is really no rule of law here anymore - none whatsoever - I am truly glad that I do not live in this absurd banana republic.
I am keeping my fingers crossed for all reasonable US citizens, of course, but please forgive me if I am not overly hopeful.
My brother in christ. Are you allergic to reading the articles you comment on?
Or are you not aware of how aging works?
Yes, I’m sorry, I’m allergic nowadays. I can’t take it anymore.
He was 80 years old and sick. Just like with Scalia’s death, there’s no reason to jump to conclusions about foul play. Of course, that won’t stop the Alex Jones crowd from doing it anyway.
Sorry, I fell for the clickbait headline because I wouldn’t have been surprised if this guy had “killed himself.” It’s a bit like The Onion; it’s hard to tell the difference between that and US news, and I don’t read articles about it anymore because I don’t see the point.
That’s not what the headline says, OP unless it’s changed since you posted it.
He was sick and 80. He died. Not “found dead”.
Black died on Monday at his home in Coral Gables at the age of 80 after an illness, his law partner Howard Srebnick said.
How do you know he’s dead? Because someone tried calling him, and maybe went to his home to check on him… And (dare I say it) found him dead?
He was survived by his wife, who was with him when he died?
And now we have a suspect!
j/k
Honestly. I’m glad he made the title what it is. Makes it obvious when people comment without even bother to open the article.
And so it begins…
First Ozzy, now this 80 year old man.
If you go to Zahadoom you will die…
The prosecutor who offered that joke of a deal WAS GIVEN A CABINET POSITION by The Dipshit.
Acosta was the secretary of labor for 2 years. He’s still alive.
Was that the deal that gave immunity to any of Epstein’s co-conspirators?
