 Unfortunately for Regan, Lewis was aware of an obscure section of electoral law and when he obtained a taped confession from Regan that his aim was to cost Lewis votes, Lewis was able to get Regan convicted of spreading false statements about an election candidate.In his final years Regan devoted himself to propagating his belief that Diana, Princess of Wales had been killed in a conspiracy.He also set up a website called "Scandals in justice" which sought to expose wrongful convictions, and wrote occasionally for "The Guardian".
