    Actually, I’m wondering if Chesebro will beat him to it. It’s pretty clear that Chesebro is desperate to avoid prison–first, the extremely quick request for a speedy trial, then his failed bid to avoid being linked with Powell. Whoever flips first will probably get the sweetest deal from Willis. It’s obvious this decision will raise Meadows’ stress level. As reluctant as Chesebro is to admit guilt, he’s got to be worrying about what happens if someone else flips first, and given the number of co-defendants, it’s pretty likely that at least some of them will try to.

      I believe this is called “the prisoner’s delema”- and the beauty of it, is…. The judge doesn’t have to accept the plea bargain deal. They usually do… but they don’t.
