She lied about killing him thirteen years ago and instead kept him in a cage? Did she think she was going to get convicted without a body?

I guess you could see it in different ways

1- she just told them she killed him to stop others getting hurt and she hoped they wouldnt alert the police.
2- she was exausted and in a way she was hoping the police would get involve and they would find the guy while checking the property.
3- like she said, she was ready to accept whatever they decided.

She lied about killing him because she didn't want them to know the truth. She wanted to keep him locked up for the rest of his life. If she had told them the truth, she would have either had to kill him or let him go, both of which are not options she wanted to entertain.

Waht I don't get is why she ends up killing him She was so sure she was against death penalty The ending in the original is better the husband keeps the criminal in a cage and no one ever knows

Waht [sic] I don't get is why she ends up killing him...

 Seriously? You don't get that life imprisonment for him, meant life imprisonment for her?
You don't get it when Ray asks/tells her, "Was this better?...you look a million years old."
Before he even places the gun before her...
Jess: "Life sentence...right?"
Ray: "For you too..."

Besides, Ray was already digging the guy's grave. He was no longer responding to her calling his name She didn't have a choice. He made a definitive decision on this...for his friend. She had to do it.

Esposito in El Secreto de sus Ojos (2009) did not have that same sort of relationship with Morales. The most he could do was either keep the secret or not...and learn from Morales' obsession how much better it is to live the life he has left fully.

What do you REALLY wish for Morales? Cardena perpetua with the criminal...or the closure/peace that Jess gets at the end of this movie?

Peace! 
