Your questions is a good one. But it cannot be answered without knowing more about the case, and especially what sort of evidence the solicitor has. All of that evidence would have a lot of bearing on what they would and would not be willing to do. Please do not give a statement or do anything else without discussing it with your lawyer. He/she is the only one that is qualified to give you competent informail.

Good luck,
