Ever since disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his jail cell from an apparent suicide, his case has been mired in conspiracy theories.
This was partially due to his high-profile connections, but also due to questionable conditions and apparently unusable security camera footage from outside his cell.
So with this context in mind, the idea of dismissing the sex trafficking cases that landed him in jail in the first place might seem suspicious on their own. However, this dismissal wasn't the unusual part of the federal judge's handling of the case.
As we look at this case, it's worth noting that "unusual" should not necessarily be conflated with "bad."
