No you won't. You can't legally profit from your crimes. The same goes for your biography or movie. You can't profit.

Sure why not, then he could immediately forfeit that money to the prison he will be held in, so my taxes dont have to go towards feeding the guy.

By law, a criminal may not profit from his crime. So if he turns himself in he doesn't get the money.

since he is the one who committed the crime he has forfietted the reward unless he makes a deal with the state.
