Bit optimistic that this will get to a trial.

My money is on an accident in a cell.

The cynic in me will also point out that they don't actually need the real killer either. Any random person resembling the pictures will do.

They falsely convicted a guy using "teeth marks" psudoscience BS.

Who's to say they wont also do it for a high-profile case?

That would be awfully risky if they didn't already have the real vigilante in custody or on a slab, at which point what's the point of having a fake?

Like imagine if they announced they caught him or shot him and then the real guy targets another of the bastards?

They'll just blame it on a copycat killer and start arresting any one who walks on the same side of the street as a corporate CEO

For once in my life, I'm looking forward to copycats this time.

Dude merc'd a demon and got celebrated across the nation. Paradigm shift stuff.

"He stabbed himself in the back multiple times"

I don't think so. Epstein was a very high-profile person. This guy isn't. There's no secrets he can spill. I think if he dies under suspicious circumstances it'll be suicide by cop.

If that dude gets on the stand and tells a sob story shared by millions of other Americans of watching family members die due to insurwnce companies denying coverage. There's a non zero chance things get spicy.
