Completely and fully without reservation, I find nothing in I or II to indicate yet alone support the contention of some Board members that Rocco's attempted or actual murder of Roth was a suicide mission embarked upon by Rocco in an effort to redeem himself.

Woltz, I agree that there were any number of variables associated with Rocco's plan to murder Roth. But reading your post, it dawned on me that we've seen this scenario before: Jack Ruby's murder of Oswald.
