Can you think of any other plausible scenario.

Yes, that they want to escape their past misdeeds. Why is a legal name change any different from operating under a dozen aliases? I think it is much more plausible that this man, having been well-educated as a jailhouse lawyer, is now intending to manipulate the law once again to his own advantage. Right now, after all the jail time, he may be thinking mostly of meeting chicks ... but who know what he may think of after that? I shudder to consider it.

Well, another reason might be that while they can use aliases in some cases, if they try it with drivers licenses, job applications, passport applications, etc. they are liable to get bitten. There are lots of instances where you really have to use your real name, even if you have no particular desire to be a good citizen -- after all, if you're driving a getaway car why take the additional risk of not having a legal drivers license?
