    Part of her deal was a written statement describing what she will testify to. They don’t give this kind of deal unless the subject has already provided sufficient useful information and sworn to its truthfulness. She’s bound to her statement now and, if she retracts later, I’m sure they can both pull back the plea deal and charge her with perjury.

    These prosecutors aren’t stupid nor is this their first plea deal. They’ve already got the goods.
