Jeffrey Epstein in custody.<\/p><\/div>\n

A lawyer who met with Jeffrey Epstein<\/strong><\/span><\/a> in the days before his death<\/strong><\/span><\/a> doesn\u2019t believe the convicted sex offender died by suicide.<\/span><\/p>\n

David Schoen, a Federal Criminal Defence and Civil Rights Lawyer told Fox Nation\u2019s Deep Dive<\/strong><\/span><\/a> on Thursday that when he met with Epstein, \u201che was upbeat and excited about going forward.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Epstein died by suicide on 10 August 2019 while in custody, ahead of a trial for sex-trafficking charges.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the days before his death, he met with several lawyers to plan a case strategy and Mr Schoen claims that he and Epstein were planning for the future.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe met for five hours on 1 August. I said that I would want to meet with his team first to see how they felt about that and then we would go forward.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe mapped out a strategy going forward.\u201d\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr Schoen claimed the conversations he had with other lawyers helped convince him that Epstein didn\u2019t die by suicide.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe following day, I got a phone call from one of his lawyers saying he just met with him after I met with him. How excited he is about going forward with this. If I could get in that night and start giving orders to the team, it would be a great help.\u201d Mr Schoen said.<\/span><\/p>\n

The lawyer says he met with Epstein just a few days before his death and that they agreed to start working together.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe reason I say I don\u2019t believe it was suicide is for my interaction with him that day. The purpose of asking me to come there that day and over the past previous couple of weeks was to ask me to take over his defence.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe came to an agreement during the course of that discussion,\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr Schoen’s claims come as the documentary, The Final Hours of Jeffrey Epstein<\/em> is released on Fox Nation<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Questions have been raised about Epstein’s death for months and Dr Michael Baden, the former chief medical examiner of New York<\/strong><\/span><\/a> City who was hired by the family to oversee the autopsy has previously suggested Epstein may have been murdered.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think the evidence points toward homicide rather than suicide,\u201d Mr Baden said during an interview with Fox News last year, noting that some bones in Epstein\u2019s neck were broken in a way that would suggest pressures inconsistent with a hanging.”<\/span><\/p>\n
