Federal conspiracy

My fiance is in jail being held on federal drug charges, his charges are conspiracy to possess, and conspiracy to distribute. He received his discovery, which stated that the only evidence against him is that two people said that he sold drugs for them, there is no other evidence against him, his lawyer states that he can get him a five year sentence, but we believe that if we go to trial, we can beat it. Need suggestions!!!!

but we believe that if we go to trial, we can beat it. Need suggestions!!!!

Um, if you believe you can beat it, then why would you need suggestions? The fact that you need suggestions proves that you really don't have any reason to believe you can beat it.

US attorneys have a 94% conviction rate. Do they have any video or audio of him? Maybe a phone call recording? They don't need physical evidence just flimsy proof an agreement to commit a crime.

What reason is his lawyer giving, for recommending a five year deal as opposed to agreeing with your belief, that he will be found not guilty if he takes it to trial?
