And perhaps he killed himself when he realized he wasn't going to get away with just a slap on the wrist.

He seems like the kind of guy for whom having his reputation and legacy destroyed while he watched would be a fate worse than death.

I've got nothing riding on any of this, but I'm just not convinced yet.

How could he have possibly "realized" that before the trial even started?

Because he knew he did it all and maybe he knew the prosecution knew enough to nail him? Is that really so surprising?
