Qoute: "Though he had killed by accident, not once did he feel that need to tell himself that it had been an accident...And in a certain sense he knew that the girl's death had not been accidental." (106)
Significance:
It seems Bigger has gotten so used to killing that he is unable to differentiate one act of murder from another. Sure, it's possible he actually did kill Mary on purpoae, but there's not enough evidence to support that. I believe Bigger feels that the murder was a conscious effort for the reason of convience. He's dealt with intended murder before, so he'd be able to get through it. If he completely admits to it being an accident, chances are he wouldn't know how to deal with it.
Question: Will Bigger ever be able to face facts?
