He said he didn't mean to kill him. "I didn't mean to kill him, William. I swear. I just... I just wanted to stop him".

Giles was antagonist but IMO is not a villain

He is criminal but he is not deliberate murderer he was blackmailed and we have to admit that he had not much choice than hide the evidence. Finch wanted to frame him for murder of Carleton boy. Being homosexual, he wouldn't be trusted. He also helped Crabtree to catch a criminal didn't he?
