Q1. Former financier Jeffrey Epstein, 66, apparently killed himself Saturday in his Manhattan jail cell rather than face trial on charges of sex trafficking that could have imprisoned him for the rest of his life. On July 23 Epstein was placed on suicide watch after he was found semi conscious in his cell with marks on his neck, but was taken off watch 6 days later on July 29 (experts say suicide watch rarely lasts longer than 2 days) . Epstein had many high powered social connections including President Trump, former President Clinton and a number of billionaires. Your thought on Epstein's death?
