And After Some Threats Involving Bodily Harm - Tumblr Posts

I have this theory that even if you roll on a cartel, using your testimony as leverage to request serving your time in not just the same prison, but the same cell as a specific prisoner (who has recently become a highly controversial politically aligned public figure) with no proof of association beyond previous prison visits and the same childhood neighborhood is going to raise some eyebrows. This theory contends that the DOJ could easily believe that you're pretending to roll on your cartel so you can be placed with this guy because the cartel wants him taken out or something. Maybe a powerful anti-lgbtq+ group is paying the cartel to send someone in to assassinate him. Maybe a powerful PRO-lgbtq+ group is paying the cartel to send someone in to associate him because they resent his plea. There are so many possibilities that are more likely than the truth.

I therfore posit the following scenario: before agreeing to the deal, the prosecutors demand a reasonable explanation otherwise, and demand details to prove its truth. This results in a HIMYM-esque telling by Mickey of the entire Gallavich story so far. It starts with just him, his attorney, and the prosecuting attorney in an interrogation room, but every time we flash back from a previous Gallavich scene to the present, more and more people are gathered around listening to this complicated and inexplicably beautiful romantic backstory. The prosecutor agrees to place them together (by this point Mickey is sitting in the middle of the bullpen, Styrofoam coffee cup in hand, wrapping up the story as the entire station - uniformed officers, other defense lawyers, even a few arrestees in the holding cell) and everybody cheers. Nobody acknowledges that the telling of the story involved confessions to multiple other felonies. Nobody cares. All anybody cares about is that this great love story continue and that it continue by placing the two boys in a holding cell together.
