re: Who is worse: Walter White or Daniel Plainview? (SPOILERS TIL THE END)

One thing I don't understand though is why Jesse told Hank he killed Gale. I really don't think it would take that much of a suspension of disbelief that Walt commanded Jesse to pick him up from his house for some unknown reason, and then they go to Gale's house, Walt kills him, and then by the time he comes out, they find out they're tracked by Victor. Sure Walt would deny it, but it's one more body upon dozens, so I doubt anyone would question the story. Jesse telling Hank he killed Gale though automatically gives him more than a decade in prison though.
