Depends on whether or not your friend was read his Miranda rights. Also, I don't know what kind of crime he committed. 70 years is a pretty long sentence, so he must have killed someone. Then I'd say he deserves to serve every day of that 70 year sentence!

you ask a question appropriate for a very knowledgable attorney who does a lot of criminal appellate business in the state in question.
it seems likely that you'll not receive any useful answers until you consult such an attorney, so go find her/him.
