Judge orders charges dropped against Jeffrey Epstein’s prison guards
A Manhattan judge has ordered charges dropped against the two prison guards who admitted to falsifying records after Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide in jail more than two years ago.
The guards, Tova Noel and Michael Thomas, copped prosecution deals in May that required them to admit their guilt, with the understanding that the charges against them would be dismissed if they followed the rules of their agreement for six months.
The pair also had to carry out 100 hours of community service as part of the deal.
Manhattan federal Judge Analisa Torres ordered the dismissal of the charges against them Monday after prosecutors last week requested the raps be dropped.
These guards were supposedly sitting just five yards from Epstein’s cell at the time of his "apparent suicide," but instead of checking his cell every 30 minutes as required, they shopped online, took breaks, and napped. After which they falsified records to show they had made their rounds.
A much more likely explanation is that they were told to mind their own business while Epstein was either murdered or replaced by a body double and then spirited away to freedom.
To further destroy evidence, the Federal prison where Epstein was held has now been closed down. This was announced as a "temporary" closure back in October, but this quickly became permanent, even though the facility was relatively new, having just been opened in the 1990s.
Keep a close eye on these two guards, as they are a major loose end in whatever happened with Epstein. A "mysterious accident" is certainly on the cards in the months ahead.
