If HR had admitted guilt right at the beginning, shown some remorse and shown the body without any concern for sentence, he could then have expected some leniency.

Instead by hiding the body in a place that might never be found for decades, he really thought he was going to get away with it and could deny it and take his chances with the jury, after all he believed he was a whole lot smarter than everyone else.

Personally I'd say he deserves the maximum sentence any murderer can get, no sympathy from me.
