I am a local and I heard from a very good inside source last week that it was believed he would confess. So I am not surprised with this announcement.
However when I was told that i was surprised because I didn't think he would actually confess.
Maybe once he saw what they had on him he figured it was
Hopeless. I wonder if they offered him a bargain in exchange?
I'm thinking a few visits from Adoptive mother and Bio mom brought it about...just my MOO
