Two prison guards are charged in relation to the death of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, but it's likely to be just the beginning, with the US Attorney-General declaring the case is not over and a legal expert saying Prince Andrew is vulnerable to extradition.

It wasn't until 6:30am the following morning, when they started bringing round breakfast, that the guards found Epstein unresponsive, according to court documents.Both have owned up to at least some of their failings, with Mr Thomas allegedly telling his supervisor:"We messed up … I messed up, she's not to blame, we didn't do any rounds."Epstein was arrested in July and charged with sex trafficking and sex trafficking conspiracy.

The 66-year old was already a convicted sex offender, having been jailed in Florida in 2008 for procuring a minor for prostitution. The Department of Justice reopened that case after an investigation by the Miami Herald exposed the lenient plea deal.But his death has , deeply embarrassed the US Bureau of Prisons and infuriated investigators who worked to bring the charges against him.The FBI and the US inspector general are continuing to investigate the systemic failures that led to Epstein's death and have subpoenaed dozens more witnesses.

It's unclear how quickly that investigation will proceed. Epstein's victims and US politicians are growing impatient.

Take his island and smash down that masion then turn it into a prison and use it to castrate the pedophiles with just bread and water.

Here's what could happen next: Media reveals that Epstein was in fact killed because he ran a blackmail operation which threatened to expose the likes of Bill Clinton as a pedophile, who was also in fact most likely behind Epsteins murder.

Maybe a few people will be scapegoated and that's about it.

Rubbish . All fake so we think the authorities had nothing to do with it . Can do better than that lol

Tragically, both guards succumbed to injuries after falling from a balcony tomorrow.

But the media told me there was nothing to see here.

Prison guards get security for yourselves pronto & pray.

He did not kill himself so my guess would be Evil out there and that's all I got to say thats what I belive and there has been so many I have lost count the numbers are getting to high now

Plea deals.....

You can bet Prince Andrew will be safe... being a Royal means he is protected, and can get away with Murder, and he will not be charged.
