Alan Dershowitz, Jeffrey Epstein’s former attorney, said in an interview that the pedophile took his own life, but with some help from the guards at his prison.
Dershowitz, an attorney, Harvard Law School professor and author who appeared in an interview with Kim Iversen on Rumble, was bluntly asked whether or not Epstein had taken his own life.
Just a week after Epstein’s death, Dershowitz confirmed that he believed the criminal had killed himself. When Iversen asked him about it on Friday, he initially said “no, of course not”.
He then clarified that Epstein may have been conspiring with his guards at the Manhattan Detention Center: “He didn’t kill himself without some people’s help. He killed himself, but he killed himself with the help of guards.’

“He didn’t do it himself, obviously the videos were down and the guards turned their backs on them and his cellmate left,” Dershowitz continued. “So I think he killed himself, but he killed himself with the help of some law enforcement people.”
Conspiracy theories have been rife since pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his cell in a New York jail on August 10, 2019.
Officially, the 66-year-old tycoon committed suicide. But given that he’s been accused of sex trafficking underage girls, and the number of high-profile and powerful people he’s been associated with, from Prince Andrew to Bill Gates, conspiracy theorists believe some would have preferred him dead see before he testified.
Last month, his former companion and co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell made an open intervention from her prison cell.
“I think he was murdered,” she said in a television interview. ‘I was shocked. Then I wondered how it had happened because . . . I was sure he would appeal.”

A week after Epstein’s death, Dershowitz said he did not believe rumors that the 66-year-old was murdered last Saturday at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in New York while awaiting trial on child sex trafficking allegations.
The attorney who represented the billionaire in his 2007 trial over soliciting a minor into prostitution says Epstein simply thought like the financier he was.

“I’m not a conspiracy theorist. I think it was just suicide,” Dershowitz told Page Six. “I think he killed himself because he didn’t want to spend the rest of his life in prison. He did a cost-benefit analysis and figured he’d be better off dead.
Epstein reportedly attempted suicide on July 23 and was discovered semi-conscious on the floor of a cell he shared with an ex-cop awaiting trial for the murders of four people.
Conspiracy theories suggest Epstein may have been killed to protect other high-profile names in his circles who may have been implicated in crimes related to the billionaire.
That inmate, Nicholas Tartaglione, has since been acquitted of any wrongdoing in the incident alleged by his attorney.
Although Dershowitz agrees that no one else was involved, he thinks further investigation is needed.
“There should be a thorough investigation. . . He should never have been taken off suicide watch,” he continued.
According to prosecutors, Epstein sexually exploited dozens of teenagers at his Manhattan and Florida homes between 2002 and 2005.

Virginia Giuffre has claimed she was forced to have sex with American celebrity lawyer Alan Dershowitz. He has accused Giuffre of being “a complete and total liar.”
He denied the allegations but faced up to 45 years in prison if found guilty.
Epstein had set up his own foundation, which donated $6.5 million to Harvard University to establish an “Evolutionary Dynamics” program.
That donation garnered praise from none other than acclaimed legal scholar and Harvard professor Dershowitz — who later represented Epstein when he was indicted on sex crimes charges in 2007 — who called it “brilliant.”
In 2007, Dershowitz, now 80, helped broker the plea deal that saw Epstein serve just 13 months in a Florida county jail after admitting a single state charge of soliciting underage prostitution.
He also successfully helped British socialite Claus von Bülow have his conviction overturned for the attempted murder of his wife and was part of OJ Simpson’s legal team when he was acquitted of the murder.
When some of Epstein’s alleged victims sued the pedophile after his 2008 plea deal that saw him escape a severe prison sentence, his ex-girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell was accused of helping him procure some underage girls for abuse.
Virginia Giuffre – then known as Virginia Roberts – said in court documents that she met Maxwell in 2000 at Donald Trump’s Mar-A-Lago club, where the Brit recruited her as Epstein’s sex slave. Maxwell denied the allegation, and the lawsuit was eventually settled out of court, with Giuffre’s statements being struck off the record by a judge.
Giuffre has claimed she was forced to have sex with American celebrity lawyer Dershowitz.
Giuffre said she engaged in sexual acts on Dershowitz, a claim he has repeatedly and vehemently denied. He has accused Giuffre of being “a complete and total liar.”
The Epstein prosecutor also leveled the allegations against Prince Andrew, former US Senator and architect of the Northern Ireland peace accord George Mitchell, and ex-New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson.
Dershowitz denies ever being friends with Epstein.
“I haven’t seen him in years,” he told the Post. “We never had a friendship. I have no personal feelings. He was a client and someone I had academic contact with. We didn’t have a personal relationship.’
