New York judge releases purported Epstein suicide note
"They investigated me for month - Found NOTHING!!! So 15 year old charges resulted, It is a treat to be able to choose ones time to say goodbye. Watcha want me to do - Burst out cryin!! NO FUN - NOT WORTH IT!!"
"No party has identified any competing consideration that would justify sealing the Note, the judge ruled, finding no legal reason to keep it under seal while treating questions of authenticity and chain of custody as irrelevant to the unsealing decision."
"Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 in Florida to soliciting prostitution from a minor, a conviction that led to a controversial plea deal and a short jail sentence. He was arrested again in July 2019 and charged with sex trafficking of minors."
Jeffrey Epstein, a disgraced financier accused of sex trafficking, died in his Manhattan jail cell in August 2019 in what was ruled a suicide. A handwritten note allegedly written by Epstein was discovered by his former cellmate, convicted murderer Nicholas Tartaglione, and later submitted in connection with Tartaglione's criminal case. U.S. District Judge Kenneth Karas unsealed the note following a request by The New York Times, ruling it qualified as a judicial document subject to public access. The judge found no legal justification for keeping it sealed, though he did not verify the note's authenticity or assess its chain of custody. The note, written on a yellow legal pad, contained statements about investigations and Epstein's circumstances.
