Because he made a deal with the prosecutors and in exchange for his testimony got a more lenient sentence. Plea bargains happen all the time and should not automatically benefit their partners-in-crime. “The first to talk gets to walk,” so to speak. Foster chose not to and instead said "not guilty." Let’s not lose perspective here. And quite frankly, none of the four are worth their pinkie's weight in carbon credits.
