I don't know that much about the US trial system,. But it seems that the prosecutor is willing to let accused off or reduced sentence if they rat out there fellow accused.
Even when it seems they've got enough evidence to convict everyone without the rat.

Is this the general rule or mainly used in mafia cases.?

AFAIK this does not happen in UK courts
