Jackson Bribery Case: Who Flips First? The Mayor… Or The DA?
from Both Sides of the Bench · host Shaun Yurtkuran
One of the more interesting discussions from Saturday’s show was my theory that if anybody flips in the federal bribery case, it may end up being the Mayor flipping on the District Attorney. Why? Because in federal conspiracy cases, everybody starts doing the math once the recordings, money trail, and sentencing exposure become real. In this clip, I break down how cooperation agreements actually work, why prosecutors love turning co-defendants against each other, and why the pressure inside these cases gets brutal once trial starts getting closer.
