While I’ll grant that none of those is inconsequential nor lacking in the zone of villainy, I still maintain that Trump’s political immunity is the weakest in the pedophile zone.
Crap. In our betting pool, I had a guessed his “suicide” would be later in the year (October). Although not successful, this means I may have been too optimistic about his remaining lifespan.
Reports this early morning are not very clear. One report I read (or heard) said that the injury is very superficial and may have been played up a bit. Yet a different report claims that they are investigating another inmate. But he is now on suicide watch.
“But another source said Epstein’s injuries were not serious, and raised the possibility that he may have used the incident to try obtain a transfer from the jail.”
If he is convicted and appeals and then kills himself before his appeal is finished, his conviction will be vacated. I hope that no one lets that happen.
Presuming that he’s still alive, and his conviction[s] upheld on appeal, would plaintiffs in a civil action be permitted to introduce his conviction[s] into the record?
Presuming that the answer to the above is “YES,” now let’s presume that his conviction is vacated as a consequence of his successful pre-appeal suicide. Does the plaintiff have the power to have the fact of his (now vacated) conviction introduced as evidence?
Putting him into a medically-induced coma following his first suicide attempt would be WRONG, wouldn’t it? Drat.
