Newly uncovered metadata reveals that nearly three minutes of footage were cut from what the US Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation described as “full raw” surveillance video from the only functioning camera near Jeffrey Epstein’s prison cell the night before he was found dead. The video was released last week as part of the Trump administration’s commitment to fully investigate Epstein’s 2019 death but instead has raised new questions about how the footage was edited and assembled.

One murderer puts their arms under his armpits. The other loops the noose and then ties it off.
Could Abby Sciuto and Ducky figure out it was faked? Sure. But they aren’t getting called in to investigate a hit that was organized by the people who would be investigating the murder.
Open the door. One guy rushes him and does a blood choke. He was old and nowhere near at his best. The other quickly throws the noose up and ties it off. They don’t have to remove anything but themselves.
Again. I think more time is more likely. But be very cautious of “They needed way more than one minute!” because, again, even the wired article suggests it may just be overlapping clips and it would be super easy to say “Actually that analyst is wrong and it is really only one minute of lost footage so all of you conspiracy theorists are wrong and owe donald j trump an apology”
As an example, think OJ Simpson. So much of the case became fixated on that glove. So once it was “proved” that he couldn’t wear it (because his hands were swollen and had thick latex gloves on them…) the entire case fell apart.
This will basically never reach trial for obvious reasons. But the principle still holds. Don’t overly fixate on specific details that can be trivially refuted unless they are key details. And it is very possible, if not overly plausible, that they could have suicide’d epstein in under a minute.
