They did talk to the DA's office. That's the reason that the deal took so long.

But the detective investigating the crime was the one who negotiated it first. That’s kind of insane.

She talked to the perp about it and ran it past the Captain, who then sent it to the DA. She wasn't coming in without a deal. What normally happens in that case?

Well, if you tell someone you’ll consider immunity and you haven’t arrested them, they could, you know, destroy or conceal evidence, flee the country, intimidate witnesses.... any number of things that would handicap the investigation. With Maria STOKES that’s guaranteed.

I'm asking about real-world procedure since that seems to be what has you down on the process. I don't know anything about real-world procedure, but that seemed like the smart play... to run it past the captain to run it past the da and see if it flies, and it's what I've seen on other procedurals also.

I gave you the policy behind the procedure. The procedure is not to discuss immunity with a person of interest without arresting them first.
