NEW: Metadata from the raw Epstein prison video shows approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds were removed from one of two stitched-together clips. The cut starts right at the missing minute.
End snip.
GOP is trying to find that old Rosemary Woods interview.

(75,282 posts)Might take longer than 3 minutes?
Unless the victim was drugged first.
Then strangulation could be done easily in three minutes.
Or pillow over the mouth or nose?

(1,853 posts)He may have had his neck broken or his larynx broken in the process. Or the garrote used should have been mighty tight. It'll cut off the blood supply quickly. I've choked out guys with my arms unconscious in under 10 seconds routinely once I slapped on the choke. I'm suspecting there was more than one assailant here. They may have knocked him out or drugged him first like you suggested. We will never know. Chloroform would work.

(75,282 posts)So someone can be killed by choking with a garrote in a short period of time.
Three minutes would do it.
Yes I agree, most likely two assailants.
They grabbed Epstein, gave him a fast acting drug injection, or chloroform.
But an injection would leave a puncture mark on autopsy.
So better to use chloroform. Probably doesn't show in the pathology bloodwork.
But a skilled assassin could render Epstein unconscious in ten seconds.
Maybe they did not need drugs.
It had to be done quickly. Guards, video, other prisoners, etc.
PS Remind me not to piss you off BBP.

interesting thread (probably NSFW discussion so Ill leave a gap for those who need to scroll back up and out)
the correct way to stage a hanging by suicide is to put someone on their face, sit on their back, and garrote them by leaning forward and pulling a rope upwards (from their perspective). you have to do this without otherwise marking yourself or them up. you then string them up with the same rope

(75,282 posts)This answers the questions.
Sounds quite possible.
Yes the assailants had to do it without leaving any marks of a struggle on Epstein's body.

(1,279 posts)Not that I believe that. I don't believe he killed himself though. With his money and connections he would have likely got out of it. Somebody very powerful didn't want him to talk. Who was President when this happened? O yeh that guy.
Dr. Micheal Baden famous coroner said, "Going over a thousand jail hangings, suicides in the New York City state prisons over the past 40-50 years, no one had three fractures. He says Epstein's injuries were consistent with strangulation from behind.

(2,846 posts)... will mourn his passing, how can anyone doubt that he was murdered? I mean, come ON! Trump doesn't have the balls to do it himself, but he's certainly got the juice to have it done. Don't EVER doubt that. Unless, of course, you've got terminal Pollyannic Syndrome, then you're over the high side, into the rhubarb, and gone forever.

(6,614 posts)will hang around every bit as long as JFK's murder theories. When you start cutting out bits of video and splicing them together... when you start stating categorically that files don't exist... when you were screaming and telling everyone they existed just a few years ago... no one is going to trust their eyes on what they see... IF the ever see anything! trump has completely done himself in with this one. And he should have known, as much as maga screamed for the release of the files from the very start. But when he says one thing, then states the exact opposite, and then comes up with a completely different story from either of those two, well... there are even magas who aren't idiot enough not to see through it. This will be a lodestone around the R's necks, and especially trump, bondi, patel, and anyone else who supposedly had their hands on them before now. Even if they released the true, correct, straight from the island evidence, it would be questioned and torn apart as inauthentic. They're just really screwed the pooch. Good on 'em! I'd really like to see trump, et al, as well as the magas in general brought down low by their own conspiracy theory.

(10,335 posts)MAGA will refuse to believe it
At the same time, I will believe it, as I do right now.
It would be really cool if Jeffrey kept meticulous records & notes.
It's the reason Mierda47 will not release these documents.
