Does anyone else finding this Jehovah's Witness murder chilling?

Citizens are not required to report crimes they may witness or have knowledge about, and not required to assist law enforcement. However, they cannot impede or interfere with law enforcement. As an example, if a citizen is at the bus stop and sees a 6' tall white 20-something man with black hair and a red sweater knock an old lady down and take her purse and run north, that citizen is not required to contact the police, and is not required to cooperate with the police if they ask what happened or which way the fellow ran.

The citizen can say he didn't see or hear or doesn't know. However, that citizen cannot tell the police that the fellow was a 5'3" teenager with red hair, a blue jacket, and ran south, because that would impede law enforcement and could be charged as obstruction of justice. In the scenario you describe, there is the risk of being charged as an accomplice.

States make their own laws pertaining to the possible punishments for the five classifications of involvement in the commission of a felony: principals (those who commit the actual crime), principals in the second degree, or aiders and abettors (who in a passive role help the principal commit a crime), accomplices (anyone directly involved), conspirators (individuals who help to plan and/or execute the offense), accessories before the fact (those who give aid to the principal prior to the criminal commission but were not there when it occurred) and accessories after the fact (people who assist the principal in avoiding arrest or trial). Obviously, you could be considered an accessory after the fact depending on your state's laws. The classification of misdemeanor or felony for accessory after the fact varies.

You should Google or otherwise search for your state's law on the matter and then consult a criminal attorney, whom you could find in the Yellow Pages or by referral from your state's online bar association Website ASAP and if need be argue that you feared for your own life.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
