18. Congeals into a plea bargain, you mean?

Zimmy might be willing to settle for, say, voluntary manslaughter in exchange for the case being dismissed against the missus. And the victim's family might settle for Zimmy having to admit that he was not justified in killing him -- plus, I believe they'd still be able to file wrongful death/civil rights violation charges.
