Well, he did kinda confess he killed her....So he is still incarcerated for a crime he likely didn't commit. Another travesty of justice.
It’s been so long ago that I followed this case closely. However, the body’s location was NOT THE ONLY EVIDENCE that pointed to his guilt. He was seen early in the morning buying cleaning supplies I think. The house showed signs of a struggle. He had been unfaithful. They had a very tumultuous relationship.And the reality of the US justice system is that innocent people confess for crimes they didn't commit if they believe that the alternative is significantly worse. And if an innocent person is convicted and receives a life sentence, doing a plea deal for a significantly lesser sentence is much better than spending life in jail for a crime you didn't commit.
That is reality.
I don't know if he is innocent or guilty. All I know is that the only evidence presented that pointed to his guilt was the google search, and that the police had already determined that he committed the crime long before they "discovered" the google search. Add to that the massive amount of exculpatory evidence, I find it very hard to believe that he committed this crime, regardless of his confession.

I struggled with this case. I didn’t find her (or him) likable at all. A lot of immaturity and back and forth hurting each other. But she didn’t deserve this and their kids lost the most.
With the issue of the Google search, I believe he got a fair deal. With that being said, if I was innocent and presented with that deal (after a decade in prison), I’d take it and not worry about the principle of admission of guilt for a crime I didn’t commit. But I still believe he’s guilty.
