she was just in the vehicle. she didn't want to be there. she didn't have anything to do with it other than being in the car. when the statements were written, it stated her as being the driver, something i didn't pick up on when i signed off on the statements and i immediately contacted my lawyer and tried to take that back. he said there is no way to do that unless we go to certain hearings pretrial and i was scared of doing that because of the amount of time i can get if i go to trial. >> if greco and marino were found guilty in trial, they could receive three to 15 years in prison on each of the 15 counts. in other words, decades. so now both say they are working with their attorneys and prosecutors to eventually enter guilty pleas for reduced sentences. >> i don't know if she doesn't understand that but it doesn't make a difference whether she was driving, in the passenger seat, in the trunk or on top of the car. she was there and didn't come forward so it does implicate her

here. they take everything from you. you don't have anything. i try to keep myself up and positive in here as best i can because i looked a mess when i came in here. i looked a disgusting mess. it made me realize how bad things really were. i was extremely hot. i was doing a lot of dope and i looked crazy. >> ten months earlier, greco was arrested with her now ex-fiance for her alleged participation in a robbery spree that made big news in the small town on eastern long island. >> this masked gunman was on the loose for more than a month targeting 15 fast food and convenience stores in eight communities across suffolk. but police say the crime spree ended with the arrests of chris marino and his girlfriend, jamie greco. >> unprecedented number of detectives and police officers involved in this investigation.
