According to the indictment, after finding Epstein dead early in the morning, Noel told the supervisor that "Epstein hung himself" and said that she and Thomas never completed the 3 a.m. or 5 a.m. rounds.
Thomas then stated, "We messed up," and added, "I messed up, she's not to blame, we didn't do any rounds."
U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman said the two guards "had a duty to ensure the safety and security of federal inmates in their care at the Metropolitan Correctional Center. Instead, they repeatedly failed to conduct mandated checks on inmates, and lied on official forms to hide their dereliction.”
The guards were reportedly offered a plea deal, which they turned down.
