There are two different issues here: (1) whether DW was in absolute truth the personal perpetrator of DVD's disappearance and death or not; and (2) what went on in the courtroom to get a verdict. If the negotiations with the prosecution are indicative of his true culpability, why didn't that get aired at the trial too? "Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law."

How on earth would he get a fair trial if it had?

Negotiations for a plea, are not an admission of guilt and are not admissable before the jury. Just because you are exploring the possibility of resolving the case without a trial does not indicate guilt. I think the part of the story that people are latching on to is that he would supposedly show them where the body was. But, I beleive thst part of he offer came from the prosecution not the Defense.
