Wait, so she won't be prosecuted despite pleading guilty? Or how does this work?
- dragonwriter 4y ago> Wait, so she won't be prosecuted despite pleading guilty? She won't be further prosecuted (i. e., beyond the charges she is pleading guilty to) for conduct related to the acts specified, if she cooperates fully as agreed. In other words, supposing there are other charges related to that cobduct which could be filed, DoJ is bound not to pursue them if she upholds her end of the agreement. If she does not, DoJ can add those additional charges on top of the existing charges (or, replacing the existing charges with more serious ones related to the same conduct.)
- gumby 4y agoThanks for explaining some of the subtleties of these kinds of agreements. I hope (and assume) these details will have no practical value to my life! But it's good to know how the world works.
