He did himself no favors there, but the evidence of an execution-style shot would've sunk him even if he'd kept quiet.

In this case his words may help him more than hurt him. It sounds from the way he describes what happened that he didn't consider what he was doing to be a crime. Lack of intent to commit a criminal action could lead to a findng of not guilty by reason of insanity.

Yes, I agree that this (along with the fact that he waited until after the holiday to report the incident) certainly opens the door for a psych evaluation.
