Prosecutors know they all won't stick, but some of them will. So maybe not 50. But with minimum sentences for the ones that do, 15 years.

How about if someone takes a plea, that there still has to be a trial with corroborating evidence besides the person taking that plea that shows their guilt. The defendant can assist the prosecution, but cannot testify against themselves since they would no longer be a credible witness.
