You mean in 2045 the USG might extradite him [1]?

I wouldn't call ~20 years into the _future_ "already done". But definitely think long and hard about any agreements you sign in an adversarial situation.

TBH, the guys not even an American so I don't think he really has a right to stay in the country after his sentence is over.

OK so it's fine for DoJ to admit into public record admissions of criminal activity that can be prosecuted internationally, so long as it will be used at some point in the future and it hasn't yet been done? Apply this to Caroline. They can put it into the record so the Bahamas can use it. You say it hasn't been "already done" once they do that so everything is good. Appears we agree.

Allow Caroline to testify in exchange for lenience. Share that... so that at some point in the future she can be extradited. All good now! As far as I can tell your criticism has no practical bearing on achieving these ends.

USA's DoJ isn't in charge of other countries DoJ / equivalents. If you're going to confess to a crime you committed outside of the USA you might want to get that country also to sign onto immunity.

Or you might want to be confessing to a country you're a resident of so that you have actual standing to oppose being extradited.

Agree, which brings me full circle. Offer her a short course followed by her fate in the Bahamas. "USA DoJ isn't in charge of other countries" -- too bad so sad, what happens in fox hill stays in fox hill.

Maybe there is some way she can avoid extradition from the US, I'm not sure, but I have a feeling such a greedy soul could be lured to some other country in promise of riches only to be escorted by men with badges for a nice cruise for a Caribbean vacation.
