What does Mangum get? She get's not going to jail.

As I said in my original post Nifong is in too deep to every prosecute her. If he tried to, he would be the star witness for the defense. He has said over and over he believed her even after all this information came out. She would not even take the stand in her own defense in such a case.

She get's not being sued for everything she has and ever will have.

She is judgement proof. She would just default on any judgement against her and go on living as before. Now if she were getting some cash out of the deal, then she would care about stopping the lawsuits.

She gets to slink away without having to say "I knowingly lied over and over, this whole time I have been telling lies."

1. She can do that now.

2. After you have been exposed as a stripper/hooker, one generally is not greatly concerned about people thinking you are also a liar.

One other problem with the rumored "deal" is that Finnerty still has another case over his head, in DC. The requirements for that are that he not get into trouble anywhere else, and not even get arrested.

The Washington court--which made a special effort to call him back for a warning (I wonder how many times in a year it does that. . .)--may feel a need to satisfy "the community" by sentencing him to up to 6 months (the max) for violation of his agreement.

So, at least on his part, he cannot afford to be 'convicted' of anything, nor get any community service nor anything else in Durham. He has to get off scott free (i.e., no community service for the crime of eating in a Mexican restaurant) or else he may still have to face a harsh penalty.
