knew also that his father was dying, the patriarch of this family, who had also loaned him a million dollars over time, and who he had just been texting with his buddy at the bank, oh, I'm going to get another loan from my dad for some money he was short.

There's testimony that even just 10 days before he was killed, he was on a boat drinking, taking some people out, and he had to call his father to get out of it. So Paul's behavior was not de-escalating. If anything, his behavior is getting worse.
