I'm not a crim law specialist, but I've never heard of someone flipping in exchange for leniency for someone else. The idea of a flip is that by helping law enforcement you earn a favor and/or present yourself as someone who has atoned in part for their wrong, in either or both case justifying a sentence reduction. It's not like a contract where you can bargain for anything you want. Hence I think (1) above is plausible, (2) would be unavailable.I don't know but I sure hope one of our lawyer members signs on to give some ideas.
Am I right in thinking that the only way CA would take a deal is: 1) to shorten his own sentence, which I don't see GC agreeing to; or 2) to lessen exposure for his parents and sister-princess?
But I don't see GC letting Donna, Harv & Princessa all just off the hook in exchange for Charlie's plea. Maybe it would be for probation. That would not be justice IMO. I would rather see GC go to trial and fight for prison time for Donna at least.
Hmmm.
If Charlie flips that would most likely be his implicating at least DA, and possibly HA and WA as well. Who knows what goes in the mind of a dude like that, having lived a selfish hedonistic life and now rotting in jail. He could decide to sell out his family to get back out there banging underage girls in foreign countries as soon as possible. Then again, I figured for sure KM would flip but nope, so it's very hard to predict.
