Judge releases note cellmate says he found after Jeffrey Epstein’s suspected suicide attempt
A judge unsealed a note the cellmate said he found after Epstein’s first suspected jail suicide attempt following a New York Times petition to release related records.
NEW YORK (AP) — A note Jeffrey Epstein’s former cellmate claimed he found after the financier’s first suspected jail suicide attempt was made public Wednesday after it had been sealed and locked in a courthouse vault for nearly five years as part of an unrelated legal dispute.
U.S. District Judge Kenneth Karas in White Plains, New York, ordered the note’s release after The New York Times petitioned last week to unseal it and other documents in a case involving the cellmate, Nicholas Tartaglione.
