Sigfredo ended up the real patsy here as he steadfastly remained loyal to Katie at the expense of being incarcerated for life with no possibility of parole. He could have cut his own deal after his conviction but, instead, he wrote cloying love letters to Katie pledging to keep his mouth shut and encouraging her to fight on. Now little Katie is singing to get herself some slack while Sigfredo is going to rot behind bars the rest of his days. Luis Rivera did the "right" thing by fessing up and essentially got only an 8-year sentence for his reward. I'm ok with that, personally, because getting his testimony was the key to convicting Katie and Sigfredo.
It appears almost certain that Katie is going to be a cooperating witness for the State and that means she is obligated to be absolutely truthful in response to any questions posed. I presume Georgia and her team will take the opportunity to fully explore whether there were any inducements by the Adelsons that influenced her to perjure herself or whether there were, in fact, any payments made for her defense. It's a dicey point because either would raise serious jeopardy for Tara Kawass and Christopher DeCoste if they were aware of such shenanigans. I'm curious whether Katie is being represented by them in this proffer or whether the public defender's office is handling the negotiations now. If the latter is the case, it may create some real drama should Katie choose to implicate her counsel as being instrumental in steering her away from a plea deal.
I have a feeling there will be more shoes to drop in this matter. DeCoste and Kawass went all in on Katie's innocence as the foundation for their defense. I have no problem with their aggressive defense of their client. However, it appears Katie is about to confirm quite starkly that her testimony was complete b.s. -- a fact that has been very obvious to everybody not sitting at the defense table for some time. DeCoste and Kawass are left having to say, "Gee, she really fooled us! That's why we went out on a limb on our social media to accuse the prosecution of persecuting an innocent woman."
For years now the defense has not added up. When Sigfredo was convicted his attorney gave a telling interview that made clear his client was shielding Katie out of love and that she was up to her neck in the conspiracy. Lawyers have extraordinary influence on how a case is tried and it made no sense to many observers that the defense appeared to be actively discouraging any cooperation in the face of such damning evidence. I cannot imagine a scenario where Katie would cooperate without the State insisting that it learns who funded the expensive defense all these years and where the money came from. That means that someday we should learn what happened finally. It may not be until Georgia writes her book, but I'm pretty sure the truth will out sooner or later.
