Apart from anything else, he knew he was not going to escape this time like he did last time. There was no buying his way out of this. That alone, life in prison and his asserts taken and all his dirt out in public at trial would have been enough.I do not believe he would have had any real fear of prison life as such would be beyond his comprehension. What destroyed him was losing and being exposed. His life had ended already he was just not dead.He was not protecting anyone, or saving anyone, he was unwilling to see the rest of his life out with no hope of release.

Guys in the slammer tend to dislike rapists and pedophiles. Honor among thieves.

Pretty sure it was either Deep State, Shallow Minds, or The Realization I'm Not Going To Buy My Way Out Of This One that did him in. Most likely the latter.

It's a conspiracy to de-shell you.
