(TMU) — A prominent lawyer who met with Jeffrey Epstein has said that his potential client “didn’t kill himself.”
Civil rights and criminal defense attorney David Schoen said that he met with sex offender and accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein in prison days before he was found dead, adding that he believes the pedophile didn’t kill himself.
“I saw him a few days earlier,” Schoen told Fox Nation’s Deep Dive. “The reason I say I don’t believe it was suicide is for my interaction with him that day. The purpose of asking me to come there that day and over the past previous couple of weeks was to ask me to take over his defense.”
Epstein faced up to 45 years in prison if found guilty on charges of sex trafficking minors and sex trafficking conspiracy running a prostitution ring.
“We came to an agreement during the course of that discussion,” said Schoen, “We met for five hours on Aug. 1. I said that I would want to meet with his team first to see how they felt about that. And then we would go forward. We mapped out a strategy going forward.”
After being taken off suicide watch, Epstein was found unresponsive in his prison cell on August 10, 2019.
Epstein warned his lawyers that someone tried to kill him weeks before his death and notified authorities, the Washington Post reported—a fact often ignored by the corporate media. Curiously, security footage recorded in the correctional facility was reported to have been accidentally destroyed in December.
