‘Watcha want me to do — Bust out cryin’: Purported Jeffrey Epstein suicide note released by New York judge

A federal judge in New York has released a document purported to be a suicide note written by Jeffrey Epstein, offering the public its first look at text that has remained sealed within court records since 2019. The note, which does not bear a signature, was unsealed on Wednesday by Judge Kenneth Karas of Federal District Court in White Plains, New York, who presided over the criminal case of Epstein's former cellmate.

What Jeffrey Epstein's purported suicide note says word for word

The note opens with a defiant declaration about a prior investigation. „ Изследваха ме месеци наред – НИЩО НЕ ОТКРИХА!!! “ стартира, преди да уточни такси, разказани като достигащи доста години обратно.

След това се измества в регистъра. „ Удоволствие е да можеш да избереш времето си за прощаване “, продължава бележката.

„ Гледайте какво желая да направя – Излезте от рев! “ се чете.

Бележката приключва с две подчертани изречения. „ БЕЗ ЗАБАВЛЕНИЕ “, приключва той. „ НЕ СИ СТРУВА!! “

The authenticity of the note has not been independently verified. New York Times, който изиска от съда да разпечата документа, съобщи, че не е удостоверил дали Епщайн го е написал. LiveMint could no verify the authenticity of the purported Jeffery Eptsien suicide note.

A Justice Department spokeswoman said the agency had never previously seen the note.

Who found the Epstein note and how it was kept hidden

Nicholas Tartaglione, a former police officer from Briarcliff Manor, New York, who shared a cell with Jeffery Epstein at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Lower Manhattan, said he discovered the note in July 2019 after Epstein was found unresponsive in their shared cell with a strip of cloth wrapped around his neck.

Tartaglione told the Times in telephone interviews conducted from a California prison that he found the suicide note tucked inside a graphic novel after Epstein was removed from their cell following the явен опит за самоубийство.

" Отворих книгата, с цел да я прочета и ето я ", сподели Тарталионе. Бележката беше написана на парче жълта хартия, откъснато от юридически бележник.

Tartaglione said he passed the note to his lawyers because he believed it could prove useful if Epstein continued to allege that he had attacked him. When jail officials questioned Epstein about marks on his neck following the July incident, Epstein initially claimed Tartaglione had assaulted him and denied being suicidal. По-късно той сподели на чиновници на пандиза, че " в никакъв случай не е имал проблеми " със своя съкилийник. Tartaglione has consistently denied any assault.

Why the Epstein suicide note was sealed for years in a US court

The note was not made public even as the Justice Department released millions of pages of Epstein-related documents in what was described as an unprecedented act of transparency. A search of those records by the Times did not locate a copy of the note.

The documents did contain a cryptic two-page chronology tracing how the note became caught up in the legal proceedings surrounding Tartaglione's case. Тази последователност демонстрира, че юристите на Тарталионе са удостоверили достоверността на бележката, макар че не разказва в детайли метода, по който са го създали. The note subsequently became the subject of a protracted legal dispute among his legal team and was placed under a court seal to protect attorney-client privilege.

Judge Karas requested the views of all parties in the case before agreeing to unseal the documents. Американската прокуратура в Манхатън, която преследва Тарталионе, не се опълчи на освобождението. In a letter to the judge, prosecutors wrote that " there appears to be a strong public interest in the circumstances surrounding Epstein's death. "

How Jeffrey Epstein died and why questions persist

Jeffrey Epstein was found dead on 10 August 2019 at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Lower Manhattan, which has since been closed. Той беше на 66 години. Съдебният доктор в Ню Йорк дефинира гибелта му като самоубийство. His first apparent attempt, in July 2019, had not proved fatal.

In the years since his death, documented security failures at the jail have given rise to persistent and wide-ranging theories about the circumstances in which he died and whether his death was in fact a suicide. The release of the purported note is likely to reignite those discussions.

What happened to Epstein's cellmate Nicholas Tartaglione

Tartaglione was awaiting trial on a quadruple murder charge when he shared a cell with Epstein. Той беше наказан през 2023 година и сега излежава четири поредни доживотни присъди. Той твърди, че е почтен от самото начало и е подал тъжба против присъдата си.

The note was placed on the court docket on Wednesday evening, following the Times's petition to the court the previous Thursday and the publication of an article in which Tartaglione described the note and the circumstances of its discovery.
