I respectfully disagree, Jose. Using that logic they'd never get a conviction. I mean, if that's the case, then guys like Scarfo and Chuckie Merlino would never have gone to prison.

Nah, this ends one of two ways for Nicodemo. Life in jail, or he cooperates, gets out in maybe ten, and goes into the Program. And the way things are going with the American mob, in ten years he probably won't even need the Program. There are rats who are living just fine without it right now.
