This seems compatible with his being guilty. If he is guilty (and I make no statement either way, really have no idea) then I'd still hope he's found guilty legitimately, rather than being framed or assassinated.
Again you push the idea that he's fully sincere and mentally grounded in any fears of "framing" and "assassination". He is not a well man from his writings/behaviors and will hopefully find the care he needs in prison or elsewhere if not found guilty.
I really don't think it's related to his mental state. The possibility that he's being unjustly chased by local police is not at all mutually exclusive with the (seemingly pretty likely) possibility that he's mentally unwell.
> You've decided his innocence already, the rest of us require something more than his word.
What the fuck, man. I haven't decided anything. I don't know enough about the case to even speculate. Go take your preconceived notions elsewhere, and stop criticizing me for things I haven't even said.
He could certainly be guilty and the sole source of all this drama, you know. He's been a very unreliable narrator since the beginning.
