U.S DROPS CRIMINAL CASE AGAINST JEFFREY EPSTEIN'S,THE AMERICAN FINANCIER, JAIL GUARD'S.

BY Chandrayee Roy Choudhury, Canada: U.S. prosecutors decided to end their criminal case against two Manhattan jail guards who admitted to falsifying records on the night the financier Jeffrey Epstein killed himself on their watch.

In a Thursday filing in Manhattan federal court, prosecutors asked a judge to dismiss claims against Tova Noel and Michael Thomas, after both complied with the six-month deferred prosecution agreements they agreed to in May.

Epstein was found hanging in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center on Aug 10.
