I always thought that if you both keep quiet, you'll do a minimal sentence. You only go free if you squeal on the other guy (who then does 10 years or whatever).
Yeah, that's the way I've always heard it. Plus in Tom's quote (from wikipedia?) above, that's the way it is too.
Lawyer up and don't say nothing.
What erika said, Tep. The cops'll tell him you talked and tell you he talked, with props and whatnot to be convincing.
Yeah, I gotta say, my answer is totally different if Frank Pembleton is in the box with me.
On Wikipedia it says if you talk and your buddy doesn't, you go free and he gets ten years. If neither of you talk, you both get six months. And if you both talk you each get five years.
I spit upon Macy's.
I haven't shopped at Macy's since they bought Rich's and put on the Macy's name. The Marshall Fields thing just made me madder. When I get mad, I stay mad. I haven't bought gas from Exxon since the Exxon Valdez spill.
You guys know how to carry it.
How West Baltimore of y'all.
Of course that's also why somebody got a big laugh on The Wire for saying "If terrorists attacked the Western District, could anybody tell?"ETA: Usually "Your buddy told us everything," is a big lie.
Not as big as "We just want to hear *your side*, though.
They never want to hear your side.
Huh, that's the opposite of the way I know it.
Ephesians, those are the guys that always lie. Unless I am being wrong again.
It should probably be pointed out that if not talking results in some mob boss going free, and talking results in you getting whacked, then your best option is a little different.
I like mothra. I mean OK, he's no Gamera but still.
