[quote=Anonymous]I just want to point out that in many cases when one participant in a crime accepts a plea deal sentencing is delayed until after the trial of the other participant. In other words, if part of the AP's plea deal--assuming she accepted one-- is that she will testify against BB, the only way to make sure that actually happens is to wait until after she testifies in BB's case to sentence her. Otherwise, there's a risk that she'll say something entirely different on the stand. If BB is then acquitted because of her change in her statements to the prosecutor and during the actual testimony on the stand, he cannot be tried again because of the doctrine of double jeopardy. Here, any plea agreement between the prosecutor and the AP will probably involve her testimony against BB, so I don't expect her to be sentenced until she's testified against BB. Again, all this assumes she has agreed to plead guilty.[/quote]
