If you have information that will let you cut a deal with prosecutors, you don't do it after you're convicted! Deal time is before the trial. You trade what you have (be it information or an agreement to testify or disgorgement of ill-gotten gains or whatever) before the conviction and sentence as a plea bargain.

A year elapsed between her arrest and her conviction. There was plenty of time to work a deal, but the "arty deal" guy was not in power. I have been sitting in a jury room at the Circuit Court, a number of times, while the parties upstairs were trying to avoid putting the perp's fate in my hands.
