Just because he committed suicide doesnt mean he is guilty.
Not too long ago, I was on YouTube and, somehow, came upon a video of a disgraced politician holding a press conference. I believe it was in Pennsylvania or New York.
I dont remember what the politician was accused of, but it wasnt a sex scandal. After speaking for several minutes and declaring his innocence, the politician pulled out a gun and killed himself.
I was horrified and curious, so I googled the politicians name (cant remember the name right now). It turned out that he was innocent and had been set up by someone else. I believe the incident happened in the 80s. I was a teenager then, so that may have been why I wasnt familiar with this case. So tragic.
My point is that, even if one is innocent, the accusations and the stress can destroy the accused persons life.

Robert Budd Dwyer
Throughout Dwyer’s trial and after his conviction, he maintained that he was not guilty of the charges levied against him, and that he had been framed. Decades later, the prosecution’s primary witness, William T. Smith, whose testimony was largely used to obtain Dwyer’s conviction, admitted in a documentary about Dwyer that he had lied under oath regarding Dwyer’s acceptance of bribes in order to receive a reduced sentence.
So there ya’ go to all the know-it-all posters who love to feel so self righteous and morally superior.
Man shot himself in front of the press and was later found to be innocent.
**PS OT: snitch testimony is the biggest reason for over turned convictions as they turn out later to have lied.
