He didn't intentionally do anything, because he didn't directly call 911 or confess to any officer.

The confession to his friend was hearsay and should not have been used until the story was thoroughly investigated.

This happens ALL THE TIME. People will confess to something they didn't do after they have seen a description of the crime on tv.
