Sincere question: Can the state impose the death penalty if the defendant confessed?
For some reason, I think that cannot happen (as it would be like a state-implemented suic*de). I honestly don't know, though, and perhaps someone here does.

Sentence is attached to the crime. I doubt anything would bring the DP off the table for these two, with or without confession.
Even if they confessed, they'll likely plead not guilty at arraignment. It's how it goes.
