I find that unfairly. I mean if he does testify he might get killed sometime in the future. If he layed that in the prosecutor's face they wouldn't care.
That's true. The guy's stuck between the proverbial rock and hard place. The prosecutor might justify this by saying, "Hey, look, this jerkoff may be a victim, but what did he think was gonna happen when he got involved with Mob loansharks of his own free choice?" The government might offer to put him in the Witness Protection Program.
