What? There's plenty reason to act frail. It's his only chance to garner ANY sympathy at all. The kicker is, though that 72 IS NOT THAT OLD. I don't know who you guys hang out with, but I don't know plenty of people in their 70s and they are spitfires. It you are ill or have medical issues, of course, the scenario is different. But if you are healthy enough to ride a bike or a motorcycle. or build a table -- the guy was spry two days ago. I will accept he is an alcoholic who is doped up to aid withdrawal. That may come out with more news. But he is perfectly fine. It's all an act, put together by his attorney who told press she "is honored" to be his attorney. As if he's some elder statesman, for God's sake.
Honestly it could go either way. I know many in the same age range who arent spry and Im not going to be judging that hes faking or not without evidence. It isnt a fact right now. What are facts is that he is old and he isnt in good health. None of it really matters since jail may well shorten whatever life he has left which is good for everyone involved.
