That should help him deal as peacefully as possible with the 75 years in front of him. His crime on earth still has to be paid for here. The girl is no less dead because of his confession.

Good point, Tony. And I agree with what you're saying. His confession won't bring the girl back, and I can sympathize with what her family is expressing, because they've had a great loss. And so has this guy. The rest of his life will never be the same. But who's to say he won't get a "break" while he's there? Although unlikely, he might be able to get out early for whatever reason. Strange things seem to happen within the "system" nowadays.
