The whole thing is a bit weird -- I feel like we're missing some important information, like that there was a true smoking gun that we all didn't know about. Apparently (from the article), the defense approached the prosecutors looking for a deal -- to me, that suggests that the defense was presented with some additional smoking gun-type evidence. (The DNA evidence in of itself isn't, to me, a smoking gun... there have been cases of mistaken identity of DNA, and also you can make arguments about trace contact or contamination. This being said, of course, he's likely guilty... it's just that they hadn't proven it.)
Also, I don't recall there being much in the way of suggested motive -- he had apparently been in contact with some of the women by Instagram, but that by itself doesn't prove anything. There's also been some suggestion that he did this to impress a former professor. And there's also been the suggestion of mental illness, in which case the death penalty should really have been off the table anyway.
