prove it he wanted kelly s help, but she refused to cooperate, at least when they were first arrested. then moran spotted a potential crack in their relationship. ira had gotten out of jail in four days while kelly, four months later, was still behind bars. why didn t ira bail her out? i guess you d have to ask him. she might have the same question. reporter: this was moran s chance to pounce. he knew kelly was angry and hoped she would finally agree to roll on ira. so he offered her a plea deal. in exchange for testifying against ira, she would get 12 years in prison with a chance for parole in four. her attorney, jonathan ripps, explains why she took the deal. if she were convicted after trial, i m fairly confident the judge would give her close to the max which would be 8 1/3 to 25 years, and that s an awfully long time. reporter: plea deal felt safe? anything involving state prison that is years in length is going to be an ugly number.

trial, i m fairly confident the judge would give her close to the max which would be 8 1/3 to 25 years, and that s an awfully long time. reporter: plea deal felt safe? anything involving state prison that is years in length is going to be an ugly number. but the alternative had there been a conviction would have been much more drastic. reporter: with the plea in place, kelly was all set to be the prosecution s star witness against ira, but in this twisted tale of greed and lies, could anyone be trusted? coming up answering for the past. what i did was wrong. and thinking about the future. some people call this a twisted love story. i think it s true love. advil pm gives tossing and turning a rest and silences aches and pains. fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer with advil pm.
