so wait? both garbage bags have been granted immunity? From what? Prosecution?

Are the courts going after the alleged pedo ring they allegedly "shared" these children with?

I m so confused as to what is happening in this case.

There are a couple good explanations upthread about the immunity granted in this case:

Regarding #53: they are offered immunity deal to make it so one can testify against the other. When they testify, it must be truthful and comprehensive AND that testimony can not be used against that person in their own case. The state will have to offer evidence and testimony beyond a reasonable doubt AND whatever they testified to in their partner's case can't be introduced at their trial....

They haven't been granted immunity from prosecution. The court orders require them to testify against each other. The "immunity" refers to the fact that information they provide in the other person's case can't be used against them in their own case.

It seems immunity in this case is better than them having the option to not testify at all by pleading the 5th.

thank goodness! So they are being granted immunity re incriminating themselves by testifying about the other? But both still being prosecuted.

Thanks for explaining and reminding us of the immunity thing -- I assume these two men are legally married.
And surely they are in different jail cells so they can't polish-up their testimony if either decides to testify.
Hell is not hot enuff for these two -- JMO.

And those poor boys -- I would think they would need lots of therapy for what they have been put through. If they were young enuff at the beginning of these horrors, they may think that what was done to them was "normal." SMH.

Just dammit.

Thanks to those who have updated this thread. Anyone know where we are with these two guys. I have personally never been so disgusted by a case before. Vile
