It's like the threw in the towel and handed Nucky his freedom, knowing he would kill him.

It was because Jimmy wanted to set things right with Nucky. When they met up at Jimmy's house he asked what he could do to make up for the attempted assasination. Jimmy always viewed Nucky as a father figure to him since the commodore was a terrible father. I think he just felt bad for what happened and accepted his fate.
And I think that this was almost a mercy killing, Jimmy said before he died that he had already died in the trench. Also when Richard was talking about still being in the trenches to Jimmy just before he leaves to his execution, Jimmy says something to the effect of "comeback to here", I think it was his way of saying it was too late for him but Richard should keep living.
On another note I expect Richard to kick ass next season and be a big time player.
