By narrow definitions of escape. He was essentially under house arrest, unable to leave the Ecuador embassy for years.

Or he could have just faced up to the charges... That house arrest was entirely self-imposed for the first five years or so.

I don't think you understand what would have really happened if he did that, or where he would have really ended up.

I mean he was proven justified there, the grand jury having been in place secretly for ages.
