I think “doing the right thing” would have consisted of doing the search with the camera on from the get go. Given that he didn’t, the next “right thing” would have been either not to redo the search, or to make it explicitly clear in the video that it was a re-enactment. Given that that didn’t happen, the next “right thing” would have been to confess to such without being under duress.
But yeah, once he’d failed to have his cam on, then illicitly re-enacted the search, then stayed silent about having done so, and then was confronted with tough evidence-based questions about inconsistencies in the evidence… yes, THEN he did the right thing. Bravo for him, I wish all people had such heart.
