Why would they suicide him? Epstein could name names. What’s this guy gonna do?

Let’s assume a jury trial does happen. The murder is pre-meditated so the DOJ will have to demand capital punishment. Now consider the case where the jury does not convict. What happens to the lives of CEOs (I.e. the members of the Trump cabinet)? That’s a crazy risk to take.

will have to demand capital punishment? no, murder 1 is not automatic capital punishment.
