He'll go down for it all.

They'll stack the charges so high you a helicopter to see over 'em. He'll either plead it out and get fifty or fight it and get life. His choice.

Well he certainly won't go down for murder, seeing as how there's no evidence that the "victim" ever existed in the first place.
