Zach then pled guilty to third-degree murder, reversing his former insistence of innocence and admitting on record: "Yes, I can say I killed my brother by stabbing," according to the York Daily Record. He received a new sentence of no less than 15 years and 230 days to no more than 40 years behind bars. By this time, Zach had already spent close to 20 years in prison, most of which was recorded as time served, making him eligible for parole as early as January of 2019.

The state board granted Zach's parole, and he was released from prison on Tuesday, May 21, 2019. He was 36 years old. Upon his release, he planned to return to his parents' home in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and work on becoming "a productive member of society," his lawyer told reporters, via The Cinemaholic. His parents were happy to finally have their son back home, and looking forward to him moving on with his life, with his mother, Sue, stating in an interview: "I couldn't be happier. I'm the happiest that I've been in 21 years" (via the York Daily Record).
