This isn’t true. Harboring someone from the police after they commit a crime makes you an accessory, not a primary.
Edit: to be more concrete and actually cite what I’m saying (my bad), we’ll use federal law since they clearly crossed state lines multiple times in the stages of committing this act of heroism crime:
An accessory after-the-fact is someone who, knowing a crime was committed, receives, relieves, comforts, or assists the offender or in any manner aids them to escape arrest or punishment. See: U.S. v. Triplett, 92 F.2d 1174 (5th Cir. 1991). The aid provided by the defendant to the principal must be given after the principal completes the crime.
The basic elements the government must demonstrate to prove that a defendant was an accessory after-the-fact are: (1) the commission of an underlying crime against the United States; (2) the defendant’s knowledge of that offense; and (3) assistance by the defendant in order to prevent the apprehension, trial, or punishment of the offender. See: U.S. v. White, 135 S. Ct. 1573, 191 L. Ed. 2d 656 (2015); Ellis v. U.S., 806 F. Supp. 2d 538 (E.D. N.Y. 2011).
Then you must be in quite a conundrum with who was killed here; if you want justice for the CEO by finding the killer of the CEO, you’re supporting a murderer; if you support the killer of the CEO, you’re supporting a killer.
It takes a lot of people to make a missile, yet it only takes one to declare war. Who’s more at fault? If I steal a thousand elderly people’s retirement savings, and someone else steals my car, are we equally thieves? What if the son of a person who I stole from took it, does that change anything?
Aiding and abetting murder can result in the same charges and penalties as the principal offender, which could include life in prison without parole
Your statement could be true, but the way you’re presenting it sounds like you’re just letting the oppressors win.
Getting locked up by an oppressor. Whoever heard of that?
Got a loaded shotgun waiting for any pig that thinks I’m going in quietly for doing the right thing
We all should

I’m sorry I don’t watch the news, so I have no idea who this person on my couch is, he just looked like a good guy who does good things.
Don’t let them find your Lemmy account.

Tough moral quandary.
Yes, all the death can be laid at the feet of one guy. What a simplistic place to live.
Said the guy that “doesn’t support a murderer” no matter what.
Meant as irony…

Of course. So let’s shoot him in the back.
Me to the judge: He said he was my cousin Paddy!
Me to the shooter: You lied to me! *wangs him with a skillet*
problem solved.
sudo !!
