He's not THAT confused. He said after checking that the record light was on (the flitting eyes) that: it was "an accident" and then continued "That would make it 2nd degree murder not 1st degree".
I know he wasn't confused about the legal implications.
I was talking memory of the crime details. He has flights of fantasy, I think. He's so confused he feels like a girl trapped in a male body. He brags. He embellishes. Of course if he's the one, he knows, or once knew, everything. If he's not the one, just a wannabe, he still knows more than almost anyone else about the case.
And yet, and yet..if he gives knowingly false statements about details how does that square with his wanting to be thought the murderer?
Conservative Texan Mom pointed that out.
Which led me to speculate...
