Tom tries to escape because he believes that there is no hope for his acquittal. (state of being found or proved not guilty) Tom thinks irrational because of fear, and tries to escape a horrible death. (the electric chair) What Tom didn't realize was that he would die whether he tried to escape or if he stayed put.
