Story
I've seen this particular story before (different names, different place, but the same story).
One sick psycho commits a horrible crime, ropes in an innocent name to share the blame and offers to rat the innocent guy out to save his own psycho skin (and he can do it too, because he's a psycho and psycho's are like that).
Innocent guy professes his innocence, guilty guy has cut the deal so innocent guy gets the heavy sentence for not being contrite and coming forward sooner, guilty guy gets the lighter sentence.
Innocent guy can never get parole (or commutation) because he never shows "contrition" because he can never admit to having done the deed, but of course not, and could you, if you were innocent claim guilt for clemency?
It happens more often than you'd think.
