The detective who investigated the other's crime might be interested and might inform the prosecutor. Snitches do not last long, and rendering substantial assistance is what it is called. But there is a big problem in reducing this one's time in prison, and he simply cannot be believed if he expects a reduction in his sentence because of this. Unless he has the ability to hire a big gun, no one will listen much.
