Expert, on Jeffrey Epstein’s death: ‘I’ve not seen in 50 years where that occurred in a suicidal hanging case’

Reuters Jeffrey Epstein appears in a photograph taken for the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services' sex offender registry in 2017. 

[‘Those three fractures are extremely unusual in suicidal hangings and could occur much more commonly in homicidal strangulation.’Dr. Michael Baden]

That is what Dr. Michael Baden told Fox News on Wednesday, saying he doesn’t believe that disgraced financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s death in a jail cell was a suicide, and that it harbored many of the hallmarks of a murder.

“I’ve not seen in 50 years where that occurred in a suicidal hanging case,” Baden told Fox News.

The allegations may spark fresh conspiracy theories around the death of the wealthy, well-connected financier. The 66-year-old investor died Aug. 10 of an apparent suicide at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, where he was in custody awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges. 

After an autopsy in mid-August, Barbara Sampson, the chief medical examiner in New York City, said Epstein’s cause of death was suicide by hanging, which she determined after “careful review of all investigative information.” 

Epstein’s death has sparked a host of suspicion partly because he was put in the suicide-watch unit on July 23, weeks prior to his eventual demise, but had been removed soon after when a psychological evaluation found him fit enough not to be monitored. 

He had pleaded not guilty to the government’s allegations that he led a sex-trafficking scheme to lure young women and girls to his homes in Florida and New York. 

Baden, however, told Fox News that Epstein’s death was more consistent with a homicide, citing fractures in the financier’s neck that are typically associated with strangulation. He also said bleeding in Epstein’s eyes were also typical of someone being strangled. 

“There’s evidence here of homicide that should be investigated, to see if it is or isn’t homicide,” Baden said.

Can't believe I voted for Pierre Delecto not once but TWICE

The bust of McCain is a nice touch.

I want a woman to look at me...

The way Pierre looked at McCain.

In the end, I was betrayed.

 I hope the people in Utah have learned from this and don't make the same mistake I did...twice. 

Can't believe I voted for Pierre Delecto not once but TWICE

The truth be told...

I bet every damn Dem in the House and Senate wishes this guy was still sucking air. 

Especially these 3

Why? Because it undeniably puts Trump in a favorable light and that's the last thing they want. Their mission, screw Trump even if it's to the detriment of the country! 

Have you heard any Democrat on the MSM giving Trump a token amount of credit... or even mention they're happy al-Baghdadi is dead?

Yes, Bin Laden was a bigger prize than al-Baghdadi I'll give you that. Nonetheless, he was a HIGH value target otherwise why the $25 million bounty on his head? (I would have shot him for an Outback gift certificate).

Remember when the liberal MSM positively fawning all over Barry in a seemingly never ending ass kissing contest when Bin Laden was killed?
A blatant double standard to be sure which has now become the norm and we expect it.

Sad comment to make don't you think? 

The truth be told...

Situation Room: 2 photos capture vastly different presidents

WASHINGTON (AP) — Two high-risk raids. Two dramatic moments in the White House.

Photos taken in the White House Situation Room during the killings of Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi on Saturday and of al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden eight years earlier capture the vastly different styles of two American presidents.

The White House on Sunday released a photo of President Donald Trump with five of his senior national security advisers monitoring the Saturday night operation against al-Baghdadi in Syria.

The photo shows the six men, all in dark suits or military uniform, posing for the camera and staring straight forward with stern expressions as they sit around a table. The presidential seal gleams on the wall over Trump's head. 

The photo invites comparisons to the Situation Room photo released by President Barack Obama's White House following the May 2011 operation in which Navy Seals killed bin Laden.

In this unposed scene, 13 faces are fully or partially visible in the crowded tableau.

Barry, wearing a polo shirt and light coat, is hunched forward and perched on a folding chair slightly off center. He looks like the janitor who just finished cleaning the room and thought he'd stay for the finale.

BTW...5 of those 'faces' in the above photo are quite possibly under criminal investigation.
