Judge releases Epstein suicide note, reviving doubts about his death

A US federal judge released a handwritten suicide note purportedly written by Jeffrey Epstein, allegedly found by his former cellmate during a 2019 suicide attempt, in which Epstein hints at ending his life amid a probe. The New York City medical examiner ruled Epstein’s death a suicide by hanging in a Manhattan jail, though conspiracies persist. The disclosure comes as DOJ document releases reveal Epstein’s ties to powerful figures, fueling political controversy in the US ahead of midterm elections.

Defense Rests in Daniel Penny Trial, Disputes Chokehold Cause of Death

A defense medical examiner testified that Jordan Neely did not die from a chokehold applied by Daniel Penny on a New York City subway, but rather from stress and underlying health conditions. Penny faces manslaughter charges for the incident, with prosecutors arguing the chokehold caused Neely's death. The defense's expert, Dr. Satish Chundru, disputed the city medical examiner's findings, suggesting Neely's schizophrenia, sickle cell trait, and drug use contributed to his death. The prosecution challenged Chundru's conclusions and credibility during cross-examination.
