You probably wouldn't be surprised that his line of thinking doesn't stop at him. Some people will do anything to get their verdicts. He seems like a man who'll do anything to get his collar.

However, I have the distinct impression that he's going to listen to us not because he thinks we're in the right, but because we're fellow monsters.
