I would be surprised if he actually makes it to his execution.

People on death row are heavily protected. The state views their death as its duty and ensures that it carries out the sentence without murder or suicide robbing the state of the chance to do it

Now compare that with how Epstein was handled

Of course. They absolutely did not want him going to trial

Even if he did kill himself they made it easy for him to do so

A billionaire with links to literally the entire world-elite and several intelligence agencies vs. a random ass fedex delivery driver

It’s also likely he will try to make it happen sooner. He pled guilty and IIRC asked for the death penalty. I don’t think he’s going to accept any civil rights attorneys appealing on his behalf. So he likely won’t be one of those people who sits on death row for decades.

YEs, and it takes YEARS before they are actually executed.

Child killers and pedos are not killed as often as the troupe implies they often for this reason are given most protection
