The preponderance of evidence disagrees.
- underseacables 5y agoBut not beyond a reasonable doubt?
- tootie 5y agoI look at it like this: a murder is plausible because there were definitely some powerful people who wanted him dead. But for a murder or a hit to have happened there'd need to be a whole slew of extremely difficult tasks to set it up and leave zero trace. Also, it's thoroughly plausible that he killed himself and it would have been really easy to do it without any complicated plot. Occam's Razor says suicide.
- delecti 5y agoI'm entirely prepared to accept that someone in his position would attempt suicide, but from everything I've read, it seems implausible that he coincidentally happened to choose a time to do so, precisely when it would leave no evidence. If he did kill himself, it only seems plausible that he did so when he did because he was told that he would be able to go through with it.
- tootie 5y agoI don't think that's a coincidence. He knew his suicide watch was expired. The story about broken cameras was exaggerated because no cameras were ever pointed at his cell. Only one camera of many malfunctioned. There was ample evidence showing no one approached his cell. I'm also assuming the sleeping guards happens all the time at every jail and just never makes national news.
- jhgb 5y ago> Occam's Razor says suicide. Are you allowed a razor in prison, though?

- Lendal 5y agoIt's the title of a chapter toward the end of Brown's book. A criticism, because she never answers the question or gives any evidence.
- briefcomment 5y agoI thought we have a lack of any evidence. No witnesses, no footage.
- coding123 5y agoReally, Wikipedia's article on it sounds like no one is that sure.
- kevin_thibedeau 5y agoThere's a reason why he got the lightest sex offender conviction in US history. Very likely he was providing information on his associate's exploits as part of a deal. Once they knew he was squealing it was only a matter of time before they fixed their problem.
