RELEASED: Recently, 3 of the men who testified against Steve L. Wright, Jr. have been released from prison. These men pled guilty to their crimes. Further, these gentlemen were already incarcerated prior to Steve's incarceration. In fact, Steve does not know any of the young men but 1. 2 of the guys are at least 10-15 years Steve's senior and sentenced to serious time. This is an example of "JUMPING ON A CASE."
JUMPING ON CASES VS. SNITCHING: When individuals "jump on a case", they essentially give FBI agents false information about a person in order to receive a sentence reduction. Individuals who "jump on a cases" are generally already incarcerated or are potentially getting ready to receive a sentence for a crime they were found guilty of. When in prison, news travels fast, therefore, incarcerated persons are aware of people going to travel. Further, often agents either knowlingly or unknowingly give individuals names, leaving room for the incarcerated person to formulate a lie saying they know the person. "Snitching" is a slang term given when an individual has factual information about a person and can pinpoint them at a crime scene without a reasonable doubt.
