Judges usually go along with the plea agreement. However in cases in ok inv multiple co-defendants it is not uncommon for a judge to require the defendant to testify truthfully against co-defendants. I am honestly surprised that the AUSA didn't require his cooperation as part of a plea deal, especially given the significance of this case to the sports memorabilia industry.
