Sona, he had a very tightly planned method for escaping, and there was little room for error. T-bag stood between him and his escape--and saving someone who was innocent from the death penalty.
He could have killed T-Bag when they were on the run, when Mahone cut off his hand. He could have had Abruzzi really kill him. He could have killed him any time they met. He could have tied him up and made sure the police finds him. He could have called a tip line and tried to leave any info he had on T-Bag. He could have done more. He could have shown he cared more. Maybe if he hadn't been so busy making sure he could pacify his ladylove or collect his money he could have invested some energy on saving the lives of innocent people and keeping himself from loading more guilt on his shoulders.
He picked his priorites, which is his right and understandable, but he still put guilt on his shoulders.
Also, are we going to pretend that Sara would not have died had she stayed out of the escape? It was not exactly a secret that Michael felt for her.
If Michael had stayed away maybe they would have assumed that he really was tricking her and that he had no real feelings for her. He made her a target by pursuing her when he didn't have to make her a target. If he hadn't contacted her maybe they would have eventually noticed that she wouldn't lead them to him. Are his motivations understandable? Sure. He wanted to be with her. Still makes his responsibility because it's not something he had to do, it's something he wanted to do. He wanted his cake and eat it to and he got caught in the process.
