I think "the police" is a bit too inclusive. Lou and Jimmy are actually from a different jurisdiction from where the accident occurred. I was under the impression that the local police actually believed he was guilty and proceeded with the case accordingly. But that doesn't change what you and previous posters have said about it. In fact, Lou probably had no legal obligation to come forward with the info, since it was another jurisdiction and thus not actually his case, but that doesn't prevent him from being morally wrong.


Personally, I don't think so. I think that he believed that by catching Eric, he would be absolved of his previous failures, but he wasn't. That is one of the ironies, which fits alongside Eric's prosecution for a crime he didn't commit. Everyone is punished at the end, with the kind of terrible guilt that is worse than a prison cell.

Someone said they thought Eric was going to die. Did anyone else get that?
 I felt he was going to agonize for life with his sudden onset of feelings and conscience.
