he hoped he would get leniency but he just never got a deal and what he had was just what you described as detrimental rewinds in your brief but it just substitutes for consideration and it doesn't substitute for a promise and what we're trying to look at in the excerpts to show that he really had a deal as opposed to a hope and arguably the officers say in essence you don't have a deal if you want to deal you have to cut that with the prosecutors you're not going to be prosecuted for what you're doing now because you're working with us under the aegis of law enforcement and anything that went on before i mean the the the officer seemed to me to be very clear when you have that you have to negotiate it's that with the with the prosecutors and moreover you've got a district court judge concluding that there wasn't a contract and  that's true it sounds to me as though he was offered the benefit of his cooperation in the six year deal and he turned that down and then bought himself twenty by going to trial i mean it seems that if there is a government in consideration of what  e done we're willing to give you six years and i turned around and turned that down however that was after the fact if you believe the entire time that he was going to be getting and unity and he even left a voicemail on one of the officers  saying i'm not going to do this anymore if i don't get immunity but in the back again that's what he cannot unilaterally force an immunity agreement on the government by saying things like that what's your best case that you think you're entitles you to win this argument got another problem to the district court found your client's testimony not credible or anything your client said can't be believed do something for me over the over the argument before your rebuttal find your best words in the was just exercising his constitutional right to trial he did go to trial i've read the transcript in each piece the return to say well i was just there i had nothing to do with it he disclaims and minimizes everything and that's why the judge said you're really not sincere in any of this so you minimize you falsely minimize everything you did but i respectfully disagree with that your honor if you look at the trial transcript he goes on and on and on basically hanged himself during the entire is something i cannot do there was a lot of quiet period from the end of august into november i'm the one who wrote the letter and reached out again saying isn't there some way we could resolve this case recognizing all of our interests i got no reply or i would have liked to have solved this case in a my answer time there is a series of letters so you're saying the government really did not play fast and loose with this guy the government didn't basically  coup operations by hinting in a deal that it never made rather the government sincerely was trying to work it out but he was insisting on a better bargain and he had the power to drive all came out in the hearing your honor and what the speaker joints of she listened to the evidence and when the motion was over she made a rule that he didn't pay attention to the government oh i think she did pay close well you want to give him a can do mike mike my obligation at the hearing was to when the hearing it was a motion to dismiss on a claimed promise and our position was no promise was ever extended are made or agreed to january shipment the only admitted to that he not only said he didn't participate in anything beyond that  to dismiss those counts after trial or rule twenty nine on both counts after a trial he insisted during the hearing and then again and trial in front of the jury that count eight was the verily providing information are clearly being the stinnett my suggestion is that this defendant played fast and loose throughout the entire investigation when he thought it's to his advantage to and the guidelines well in this case hopefully the supreme court will all go it's sort of what we have to look forward to tear they'll just bring an end to the whole thing probably start over again  that's where there's the testimony about mr wilson contacting officer williams that he was not going to keep on working and once he got on his immunity agreement in place and officer
