Agree with this for sure. If he wasn’t on suicide watch that is clear negligence.
Yes and you knew that the whole time.
And my calling it negligence is the most charitable way to frame it, since it’s not like he was some anonymous black person whom they failed to assess and chose to forget about.
He was a high profile suspect under the complete control of the facility, and yet he was allowed to kill himself.

No I didn’t. Again that is the point.
Agree. I think “negligence” is at least as likely as true negligence.
We’ll never know what could have been if he stayed alive to testify.
This, plus tax/financial/white collar crime is heady stuff that most people simply cannot grasp. Even the dumbest dumdum understands sex crime

So he was on suicide watch two weeks ago but when all this news dump came out he was off suicide watch.
The Los Angeles Times stated that the prison is often referred to as the “Guantanamo of New York”, and The New York Times stated that its administrative segregation units had severe security measures.

So then Bill Barr is at the top of the food chain on this one? Will be interested to see what he has to say.
“Negligence.” That’s some NYT level BS framing right there.
For sure. The question then is whether this was just routine incompetence on the part of some guards not especially caring about the safety of some pedo creep, or if the warden played a role or if this was a real conspiracy from higher up. The whole thing is gonna be like the Zapruder film only far, far worse: you can hypothesize all kinds of things and no one on either side will have any faith in the conclustions of the official investigation.
On the bright side, he was kind enough to leave a safe full of evidence.
Eh, negligence can be deliberate.
I’m waiting to see if tRUmp implies Clinton responsibility, then I’ll know he’s projecting.
Clinton Body Count is leading trend on Twitter after the death of Bill Barr’s prisoner. Looks like you got your wish, Clovis the Complicit.

IANAL, but I was under the impression from a while back that “gross negligence” is the term used when the alleged negligence starts to look like you were deliberately trying to be negligent.
I’m sure I’m paraphrasing but, “A lack of care that demonstrates reckless disregard for the safety or lives of others, which is so great it appears to be an intentional violation of other people’s rights to safety, it is more than simple inadvertence.”
It’s actually impressive how badly you missed my point.
Hope he had a deadman’s switch in place to release his files
