A former Wall Street trader convicted of setting his Phoenix mansion on fire in a desperate ploy to get out of his mortgage put his hands to his mouth — seemingly in shock — and collapsed after the verdict was read Thursday.

He later died, but authorities are wondering if the hand gesture was actually a final, preplanned act to poison himself, according to reports.

That'll show that judge and jury, by golly!

Some people believe there are fates worse than death. Their body, their choice.

And on the flip side, he saved the tax payers the cost of feeding, housing, furthering his education, dental bills, medical bills, etc;

I can't imagine how he would have felt had he taken a pill (if that is what happened) and then his attorney turned to him and said "we've got this one beat on appeal because the judge/jury members were
caught discussing the case outside of court!!"... DOH!

Well, he obviously swallowed after after he seemingly put something in his mouth. I heard about this a few days ago and am very interested to see what the final word in on his cause of death.
