As part of the cooperation agreement with the prosecutor, they themselves have pleaded guilty, which corroborates their testimony. Several criminal defense attorneys who are following the case said it is likely that Ellison, Wang and Singh will not be sentenced to prison or very little.

For the three witnesses, a possible sentencing timeline would be slower.
