They had to have caught him sleeping, he vowed never to be taken alive. It's better that he will be tried, convicted and executed anyway. Let the Trooper's widow be the one that pushes the button.

Ship him down to FL. We'll take care of him. We might even bring Ol' Sparky out of retirement just for him.
