Personally I am incredibly relieved for the families that this guy pled guilty instead of forcing a trial...I don't care much about how he feels about what he did and don't understand what he means by saying he tried to get help, but at least there won't be a painful, hugely expensive trial. Sure, that may have resulted in DP, but chances are it would never be carried out, or not within the next 20+ years anyway. Pleading guilty was the only thing he could do that could be of any use to community at this point and even if he did it for selfish reasons, that does not take any the benefit to community, IMO.
