Since the sentence is mandatory, depending on what the evidence shows, a jury may not convict him unless the charge is lowered to manslaughter.
Or depending on jury selection... But either way, the problem will come out in the wash. There are consequences for many different kinds of actions. Some people do drastic things whether considering consequences or not, but only criminal minds with their vanities refuse to consider consequences. Criminal minds can now easily be found in all walks of life.
