suit against any psychiatrist or psychologist who recommended that epstein be taken off suicide watch in the prison. i know this sounds crazy, but i ve done a lot of medical malpractice litigation in my career and i have seen the strangest suits against psychiatrists and psychologists, and there are many such suits where somebody commits suicide while under psychiatric care and the psychiatrist gets sued for recommending release from a psychiatric institution, or in this case putting epstein in a step-down unit. this was not a psychiatric unit or a hospital unit that epstein was held in, in such a short period after he had made a suicide attempt. i question by saying even though it s theoretically possible to do this, i don t think epstein is going to make a very sympathetic victim in this case. so technically you might have a case, but it wouldn t be one that i would take. vicky, as you noted you ve been reporting on jeffrey epstein for well over a decade,
