Richard could be one of the conciencous white man trapped in an evil and toxic society and law.<br>He could have loved her, as obvious in him treating her as his lover acknowlegement of her children . Not all these men were evil. Richard could have been one of the few ones who remained human in a society full of legal monsters.

People always find a way around the law. Good for Richard going against society.
