i thought these two points were interesting -
1. So we’re looking at a trial in late February — unless Magbanua changes her mind and reaches an agreement with the government before then. One source of ours in Florida thinks it’s possible, especially if Friday doesn’t go well for her: “After she gets denied bond, the dominoes fall.”
i liked this - "After she gets denied bond, the dominoes fall."
2. If this were a made-for-TV movie — which it is not — one could imagine the following plot. Two co-defendants, a husband and wife who have two children together, maintain their silence about a crime to the end — even if it means spending the rest of their lives behind bars. Why? Because someone — maybe someone who also helps out with their legal fees — has made special financial arrangements for their kids, perhaps through secret offshore accounts. So staying silent would represent two parents making the ultimate sacrifice for their children.
i know this was a fictional hypothetical but i really doubt that a mother and/or father are going to risk and possibly accept life in prison or the death penalty and stay silent to protect alleged mastermind(s) in exchange for promised financial compensation for their children (and payment of their legal fees). any movie script with this plot would be rejected because it's nonsensical. IMO SG and KM will do anything they can to try to see freedom again someday.
