If Roeder was willing to give his life, why did he flee the scene of the crime?
And if he was willing to give his life, why did he plead Not Guilty?
Probably fled the scene to avoid being shred to pieces by the vampires in that sorry excuse for a church. They were willing to allow a seriel killer in their pews...makes sense that they would rip to shreds the man who took out Killer Tiller.
AS for pleading not guilty-—he is still NOT guilty.
And if he was willing to give his life, why did he plead Not Guilty?
I'm not Roeder so I don't know what he had in mind, maybe there were others he still wanted to take out before he got caught or killed, as for the not guilty verdict that's an easy one, he obviously felt like he was defending lives from being destroyed so in that's sense it would be justifiable homicide and not cold-blooded murder as charged.
