And do you have a scintilla of evidence to support your speculations that "fear trumps guilt"?

Nope. I think when I mentioned that I have no experience at this and it's mere speculation, I've basically acknowledged that I don't have any evidence of that. Not really, anyway. Except, I do know what I am capable of when faced with fear. And, I guess I've seen what others are capable of when faced with varying degrees of fear. Not exactly "evidence", but I didn't exactly make the statment with no basis or foundation in logic or fact.
Take note that all of your cited examples involve those that have killed, but have no fear of getting caught or fear of losing everything. There is no fear to counterbalance the guilt. All I'm saying is that I am never surprised of what emotions the human mind is cabable of dealing with when your life depends on it. Not everyone feels that they need to spill their guts to someone over "bad acts" that they've committed.
