So Gale basically committed......


....suicide. He knew he would get caught. Knew he would get the death penalty. Knew he would die. What is the point of this movie??!! It's so stupid.

His career was in shambles, his wife left him and took his son out to Spain with her, he barely got to talk to him on the phone and he was just miserable. I'm pretty sure he didn't mind at all volunteering for the cause.

What Mickey65 said.
1. Constance was going to die soon anyway.
2. Gale had nothing to live for.
3. The governor said he would only call a moratorium on the death penalty if the crusaders could prove an innocent person had been executed.
