Remember, his co-conspirator, David Robert Jones is dead.

And his attempt to kill our Lincoln was unknowingly thwarted by Walternate without implicating alt-Broyles (unless he told on himself).

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** · 08-23-2019, 04:58 PM

Between 15 to years, if not a little bit less

I'm sure he did at the trial.

**@l3jandra** · 08-24-2019, 09:35 AM

I would've love to see that

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

**@l3jandra** · 08-26-2019, 08:03 AM

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

**stlavin95** · 08-26-2019, 11:06 PM

**@l3jandra** · 08-27-2019, 08:02 AM

We can only speculate what happened

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** · 08-29-2019, 03:34 AM

Wow, I didn't know that

**@l3jandra** · 08-29-2019, 08:42 AM

Also how did Broyles dealt with his guilt

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.
