Keep in mind she will serve until BB's trial is over. Scheduled for late February but no way it happens before June (IMHO). And second, the judge still has discretion to even accept the plea at face value and to assign a sentence beyond what is recommended. Let's hold tight and just see how badly she implicates BB.

What I genuinely understand is that he was an IRS investigator--how could he have been so dumb to think he could have gotten away with this ridiculous plot?

Because that is how a plea bargain works. What’s in it for her to plea? Usually for a defendant it is for a lesser charge/sentence vs gambling with what could happen with a jury.
She is in jail and has been for a year. She will remain there until after the husband’s trial. She isn’t being sentenced until AFTER that trial. When that trial is over, if she has met her requirements under the deal (which they are not disclosing so we won’t know what they are but I assume they include her being a state’s witness and testifying against him), then she will be sentenced. Apparently state would be asking for time served. But the judge has to accept that at that time and she/he isn’t required to accept that and may impose a sentence (that certainly has happened before in other cases). Whatever her sentence is, she will be deported immediately once it’s completed.
How do you know she will be deported? Which of course needs to happen and I'm hoping she gets additional jail time but I'm curious.
