Try explaining that to Lincoln's family or Olivia Another thing we'll just have to speculate about

^ How many years do you think he was given?

stlavin95

Between 15 to years, if not a little bit less

@l3jandra

^ Could be

I'm sure he did at the trial.

@l3jandra

I would've love to see that

Ironhorse25

We should have gotten an alt-Broyles update in S5.

@l3jandra

S5 is far away from s4 so a lot of stuff were left unsaid

stlavin95

Yep

@l3jandra

We can only speculate what happened

Ironhorse25

I once read in a Fringepedia page that is now down that alternate Nina Sharp had been convicted of crimes committed in violation of the Liberty Island Bridge Treaty.

Perhaps alt-Broyles testified against her in return for a lighter sentence.

Remember, she's the one that snitched him out to Olivia.

Some co-conspirator she turned out to be.

stlavin95

Wow, I didn't know that

@l3jandra

Could be

stlavin95

Yep

@l3jandra

Also how did Broyles dealt with his guilt

Ironhorse25

I'm sure alt-Broyles dealt with his guilt in his own way.

However, David Robert Jones coerced him into an alliance in exchange for information for a cure for his son Christopher's blindness.

Alt-Lincoln was killed at the hands of one of Jones's shapeshifters, caused by alt-Broyles's giving away their location, not by alt-Broyles himself. Alt-Broyles and Nina were ordered by Jones to kill Canaan. (The raises another question: would attempting to kill a shapeshifter be considered attempted murder in the alternate universe?)

Broyles could have argued that he had no idea alt-Lincoln was going to be killed. Alt-Nina could have argued the same defense.

Remember, alt-Broyles was also instructed by Jones to plant a device into the bridge between universes to disrupt the Machine, but instead turned himself in to our Broyles.

So, in fact alt-Broyles is sort of a hero, saving both universes from destruction.

Give the guy a break.
