you know fellow Sleuthers...I just can't seem to get my mind around this...let us say Shapiro really does an excellent cross and gets her to admit lots of things that put his client in a better light...just say it is a A+++ cross and short of confessing it is obvious that she did it what good is any of it other than to get his client off?? As I understand it there is no way to go after her other than what she has right now.
Her case is still in process while MM's trial is going on. That is because her plea deal hinges on her truthfulness and cooperation. I am still unclear if, because it hasn't been finalized, her charges can be upgraded.
My sense is that they can be without subjecting her to double jeopardy. IMO DJ would only apply if her case has been adjudicated.
