In your friend's case, considering that he didn't actually kill anyone, I would definitely support his rehabilitation and re-entry into society.

IMO, once you kill someone, the line is crossed.
He choked her to a point where she was unconcious. He probably thought she was dead. The intent to kill was there, but by sheer luck she survived.
