For him to take the deal they would have had to sweeten in a little and remove his biggest concerns. I mean he did beat them. Not totally but of there were a belt it would be in his corner today.
I get most wanted to convict However, he only needs one juror on his side to win again.
They very rarely if ever come back for a 3 trial Especially becaus they did not want to try it the first time and if he can get one juror a second time.
The feds need all 13 Joey needs 1
While.house arrest appears attractive I believe he is more worried about the next case which will no doubt have him facing 20-30 years.
I would tho k given the option to pick either House arrest or the feds not being able to use the case against him in the future He would choose the 2nd part
