I put myself in Westerfields place. IF I were NOT GUILTY, then I would take my chances before saying I was, even if the death penalty was a possibility.

IF he says "guilty", he's a dead man walking even if he gets "life" without parole.

I would hope, if he cops a plea, that he would have to "confess" to exactly how he committed the crime, and then we would have no doubt he really did do it, if that makes any sense.

Yes, he would have to do that.
