He needs help. I was just praying for him to find Jesus, but you're right. He does need a life sentence. Maybe even the death penalty. I mean, Moses murdered an Egyptian, and David Bathsheba's Husband, and Paul murdered a lot of saints before he met Christ on the road to Damascus. There is redemption for a murderer. But, there needs to be consequences. What he did was beyond the scope of reasonable. I think he's a perfectly sane individual, too, and there needs to be some manner of consequence for this heinous crime.  If in a State with no death penalty, then life without parole.

Moses' consequence was he had to wander with the Israelites, and never entered into Canaan.

David's consequence was constant war and strife at his borders.

Paul's consequence was imprisonment by the Roman emporium.

There's no need to feel a weight of guilt on you, for having sinned--as that Christ lifts off our shoulders--but there do need to be consequences for actions. Mercy shown where mercy needs to be shown, but he showed no such mercy to his victim, and doesn't seem to be that much bothered by it. Should he be bothered by it, and his conscience overwhelmed by the guilt, God will endear his heart toward salvation, and that is about all that can be done here.
