    The death of any person in custody is a deep fuckup by the authorities at best. This one is on the Lee Harvey Oswald-Jack Ruby scale.

    Federal prisons are usually places where the federal government has exclusive jurisdiction, meaning they could tell state authorities to piss off.

    It's always specific to the facility or piece of property, though. There's a massive catalog of federal properties available at a lot of law libraries where you can look up the jurisdictional status of each.

    Trump will remain at half mast in honor of his 3rd favorite pimp

    He shot himself in the back of the head, twice, the Clinton Suicide

    I’ll push back on the “Epstein knows” narrative with two questions:

    Was he eager to share everything?

    Was the first suicide actually a murder attempt?

    Too nice a day to go to the law library. Even if the feds have jurisdiction over the case, doesn't a state coroner's report have to be filed?

    If it was a murder attempt, one might expect Epstein to at least have had his attorney do/say something. It's possible Epstein was his own conspiracy, bribing guards and other jail personnel to get the privacy he needed to commit suicide.

    On the director’s commentary, IIRC, Coppola said it was a contract dispute that kept Richard Castellano from appearing in Godfather II. Which brought us Frankie FiveAngels.

    Trump’s a pimp. He never could've out-fought Hillary. But I didn't know until this day that it was Putin all along.

    Usually, although there is considerable variance from state to state on what is required and whether it's just a coroner signing off on a death certificate with little examination or a medical examiner conducting an autopsy.

    Where coroners still exist - as opposed to medical examiners - they often don't have any forensic training.

    The coroner in my hometown is elected, and the current office holder was one of my high school classmates. He's a firefighter who did not go to college and is also an anti-vaxxer. It's a part-time job.

    I guess suicide watch means they watch the guy commit suicide?
