Recently, the suicide of the financier Jeffrey Epstein whose alleged molestation of underage females transported across state lines has been reported by news outlets on a 24-hour basis. The fact that many rich and famous celebrities and royalty traveled with him allegedly when some of the underage females were present created “news”.

Of course, the fact that the suicide occurred while Epstein was incarcerated in New York is scandalous news. Epstein attempted suicide several days before actually succeeding. After his initial attempt he was placed on suicide watch. For some reason as yet unexplained, he was removed from the suicide watch and placed in a cell alone, to be watched by correction officers at least every 30 minutes. Clearly, somewhere along the line, protocols were breached.
