If he did it, and if he was found guilty in a manner that reflects the truth of the case, I believe he should have been executed.
Also, if he's been found guilty, the time from the finding to the execution should be his to do with as he sees fit. Finding redemption or fighting the system, his choice, but not 25 years worth.
