Speaking on Saturday, Alan Dershowitz said he doesn't believe rumors that the 66-year-old was murdered at Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in New York last Saturday as he awaited trial on allegations of sex trafficking children.
The attorney, who represented the billionaire in his 2007 trial for soliciting a minor for prostitution, says Epstein was simply thinking like the financier he was.
