In the march of "what else happened?!," the news yesterday was that arrested (maybe this time he would get real punishment!) Jeffrey Epstein -- "good! he didn't get bail!" -- committed suicide. He seemed to have tried before but his suicide watch was brief. The "oh well, just another victim of the system" takes are coming in. But, very rich defendants with friends in high places are not typical and this "oh well" doesn't quite wash. Conspiracy? Eh. But, that handwaving is too easy in this case. Plus, while investigations occur, this can't be allowed to close off a full true accounting. Epstein in no way committed his crimes alone.
