1 ANSWER
The defendants, including your husband, each have lawyers. If you are saying the co defendant will mitigate your husband's potential punishment, your husband's lawyer needs to contact that person's lawyer. At the stage they are in, everything is done by and through the lawyers. It is doable, but complex and delicate.
