i posted this theory before but maybe KM is taking this huge gamble going to trial -
1. If she wins - she gets off scot-free and gets a $1M? payout from the very grateful alleged masterminds.
2. If she loses - she can try to negotiate (albeit from a much harder position) for a reduced sentence (including time served) in exchange for testimony against the alleged masterminds.
it's a huge risk and rare but not without precedent -
Killer's sentence reduced in exchange for testimony
MAY 3, 2013
County prosecutors secured two convictions in the 2006 slaying of a Glen Burnie dentist with the cooperation of the woman who concocted the murder-for-hire plot. In exchange for her testimony at the trial of co-defendant Dante Jeter, 38-year-old Shontay Hickman had her sentence reduced Thursday from life to 40 years in prison.
