In response to T.P.F.K.A.D.W.
I do not know for certain what happened with each specific witness against Esformes. As a general principle, a witness given immunity is less credible in the eyes of a jury than a witness who has pleaded guilty to one or more crimes.
Jerome Allen was required to plead guilty before he testified against Philip Esformes. If you go back and read Miami Herald articles written during the trial, you will probably find that other participants in the criminal schemes, such as the Delgado brothers, will have pleaded guilty prior to their testimony.
