warpedskydiver 0 #51 May 4, 2006 QuoteI guess that’s what I don’t get. It looks like everyone is pissed so they look at the only person they can take it out on. He didn’t commit a crime he knew about a crime right? How can someone get Life or the death plenty for knowing about a crime? An accomplice is someone who helps with the crime not some one who has knowledge of a crime. Quote So does this mean if I see someone selling drugs on the street and don’t do anything about it I could get the same sentence as the drug dealer?
