The Mad Scientist Archetype
Technically, there can't be a mad mad scientist. But I am sure you comprehend that. Now that we are past that tiny issue, let's come to think of his request for retrial as a motif in contemporary myth of the corny variety. Having appeared extensively in comic books and movies over decades, his characteristic nuances are unmistakable.
He operates on a grand scale. He is driven by overpowering ambition. He has a thing for monologues (this also goes for super villains and evil overlords) that often end with, '...once and for all' or '...mine, all mine.' More often than not, he breaks into manic laughter that echoes in his innermost sanctums or his justice building (if he is the court-holding type).

He spends most of his time working on world domination schemes. Indeed, most '...mine, all mine' monologues are about world domination. His schemes are simplistic, ordinarily themed on quarterly blackmail, ransom or beat-the-world-to-pulp-and-into-total-submission strategies.
He understands the value of beneficial threat perception and has account for sub-routines built into his world domination project to take care of short-sighted heroes, self righteous defenders of freedom, agents of secret world safety troops and others like that.
He has a penchant for order (though he could use a great sense of color) and has his minions wear garish uniforms. Many a time, infiltrators use these uniforms to make there way into the secret-most parts of the headquarters. Often it is the his obsession with order that prompts the mad scientist's charge upon the world. The world, he strongly feels (and he is likely to tell the hero before feeding him, his family, and his sidekicks to hungry crocodiles), is too chaotic for its own good.
He operates from inaccessible remote islands. His headquarters are often secret and its passages teeming with guards. safety codes seal all gateways, important or inconsequential. An interrogation chamber, suitably furnished with state-of-the-art equipment, is something most mad scientists enounce as a rule.
The mad scientist's claim to fame, his doomsday device, is attended to by hundreds of kidnapped lab assistants and factory acceptable laborer robots which also duplicate as expendable assassins if needs be. The gadget itself is magnificent in bearing and surprisingly easy to render ineffective. There is ordinarily a big red button or a clearly labeled lever reserved for the purpose. Also, the device's shut down practically always triggers a self destruct agenda that (after the customary minutes long countdown) blows the island and all things on it to smithereens.
Most important of all, the mad scientist always has backup plans. One to trap heroes, then one to trap them again if they escape. Even one to at last get off his island while the final few seconds of the self destruct countdown. Then weeks, months, years later he is back in news, retention the world to ransom with a brand new doomsday gadget or infernal scheme.
