Sarge,
I was that guy. The only twist to the story was I wasn't killed, a guy who took a nap in my bed was. I tell myself that guy chose to be there but if I hadn't been so scared he never would have had the chance. Your guy DID choose to go there and lie the way he did. I guess you have told yourself that a thousand times, the same as I have. They are both in a better place than we are but we have to forgive ourselves. The only problem is how. I don't know.
