Cameras show jail guards never made some of the checks logged the night of Jeffrey Epstein's death, a person briefed on the probe tells the AP.
A person familiar with the probe of Jeffrey Epstein’s death at a federal jail says guards are suspected of falsifying log entries to show they were checking on inmates in his unit every half hour, when they actually weren’t.
The person wasn’t authorized to disclose information and spoke to The Associated Press Tuesday on condition of anonymity. The official said the team of psychologists arrived Tuesday at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York. They are expected to reconstruct the scene, analyze why Epstein took his own life and look at how it happened.
Attorney General William Barr has expressed outrage that Epstein was able to take his own life Saturday while under the care of the federal Bureau of Prisons while the inmate was facing sex trafficking charges. Federal prosecutors said when they charged Epstein that the Florida deal doesn’t apply to prosecutors in New York.
