I concur with Scott’s definition of a rat but am unsure if he distinguishes between a rat and a snitch in his definition. If your innocent and you know who did it then you should exonerate yourself and you are neither a rat or a snitch. But if your guilty and implicate a co-defendant then your a snitch. Now if you provide information about someone involved in a separate crime for no reason other than to get a lighter sentence then your a rat.

A rat isn’t an innocent person (who we might otherwise call a witness). A rat is a person who did the crime but, to get out from under, will give up someone else on some other crime. That’s who we’re talking about.
