The 25-year "offer" from the prosecution is nothing but a scare tactic to make a defendant have to sit and think about all that time for awhile while they work

The 25-year "offer" from the prosecution is nothing but a scare tactic to make a defendant have to sit and think about all that time for awhile while they work on the other cases they have in the pipeline. It's a very standard practice and in no way indicates what the prosecution really wants to give him. In my recent experience, it works very well as it is no fun sitting around for months thinking about the possibility of doing all that time.
