U.S. prosecutors have dropped their criminal case against two jail guards who were at the Manhattan Correctional Center (MCC) in New York on the night that disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein purportedly killed himself.
In a legal notice (pdf), prosecutors informed the judge they wish to abandon criminal proceedings against Manhattan jail guards Tova Noel and Michael Thomas, who were accused of slacking on the job when they were meant to check in on Epstein around the time he died.
