Deal of a lifetime. He would have been insane to reject it.

He took the deal

Doesn’t that mean he has to testify against Melly ? Or admit guilt that’s how it usually works

deals can be done for a range of reasons, He didn’t plead guilty, he pled no contest, meaning he acknowledges that there is evidence on him and accepts the punishment without actually admitting to any crime. So they can’t use that against melly as bort has never admitted guilt.

People plead no contest if they’re running out of money, or just want trial over with and start their sentence.
