The 25-year &quot;offer&quot; from the prosecution is nothing but a scare tactic to make a defendant have to sit and think about all that time for awhile while they work on the other cases they have in the pipeline.<p>It&#x27;s a very standard practice and in no way indicates what the prosecution really wants to give him.<p>In my recent experience, it works very well as it is no fun sitting around for months thinking about the possibility of doing all that time.
