Establishes provisions relating to plea agreements

Summary

The bill amends Missouri law (section 545.970) to allow a plea agreement where a codefendant’s case can be dismissed or its charges reduced in exchange for testimony against another codefendant. It applies to criminal defendants and prosecutors, giving clear legal authority for this type of deal. The change is intended to clarify how such testimony‑for‑leniency arrangements can be used in court.
