41. I think he'll willingly go to prison at first and try and play the martyr angle big time.

Probably thinks he'll get special treatment in there and it won't be all that bad. Plus, he probably imagines they'll worship him in there.

He'll find out otherwise soon enough though.

However, all that's if he even lives long enough to go there with all the appeals and delay, delay crap.
