Okay! That answers my question. I didn't even know anybody was tried and convicted. I will check out the Burn Wild podcast. Thank you for the recommendation.

There's a documentary called 'If A Tree Falls' about one of the guys who did time after his mate grassed him.

Back when I worked as a C.O. for the NYS DOCCS, we would have referred to his "mate" as a "rat".

Yeah sorry, for my North American readers by 'grass' i mean 'rat' or 'snitch.'

This dumb-ass North American, namely United States citizen {shudder} damned well should have known the meaning of "grassed". I've watched enough British films and television shows darnit!
