Hell, I think some people would do it eventually just to get the weight off their back.

Well, yeah, but showing that they
will do it is completely separate issue from legal culpability. People
will commit crimes. So? Is that an excuse or any kind of legal defense?
Anyway, recklessness is enough intent for homicide, so it really doesn't matter what anyone in the game actually believed. All that matters is that they were aware of the possibility that their actions would lead to death. The question of evidence is the more interesting one.
