The Man Who Found Epstein's Suicide Note
If you can't trust former cop and quadruple murderer Nicholas Tartaglione, who can you trust?

The note was made public on Wednesday by Judge Kenneth M. Karas of Federal District Court in White Plains, N.Y., who oversaw the cellmate’s case. …
Mr. Tartaglione, a former police officer in Briarcliff Manor, N.Y., shared a cell with Mr. Epstein while awaiting trial in a quadruple murder case. He told The Times in recent phone interviews from a California prison that he found the note in a graphic novel after Mr. Epstein was taken out of their cell after the apparent suicide attempt.

“I opened the book to read and there it was,” Mr. Tartaglione said. It was written on a piece of yellow paper ripped from a legal pad, he said.
Tartaglione has a pretty horrible and hilarious …
