- ghshephard 14y agore: "You can't split jail terms 50-50." - sure you can. You can both be sent to prison for 1/2 the expected time if you both keep mum. But, if one of you squeals, then that person gets rewarded with no time, and the person who keeps mum goes to jail for the full sentence. But, if you are both stupid enough to squeal, you both go to jail for the full sentence.
