What is the name of your state? AL
Hi Im hoping someone can help me here, I have a few serious questions that are bothering me and I really need some professional advice. A friend of mine is under investigation for a sexual battery case The attorneys have told him his case seems weak and with the heavy sentances that are carried out in these cases...hes sort of deciding to flee the country. Now let me state first, NO charges have been filed, there is NO arrest warrent and NO arrest have ever been made. Everything is pending investigation and testing.. Now here is my question. He has been talking to me about his flight from the country.. and asking me for favors to help with certain things and I have declined these.. I told him I wont help him and cant... but nevertheless he continues to hound me calling me and stopping by the house and asking what would you do type questions..
Im real nervouse about this kind of talk... I dont want him talking to me about this. He asked to borrow money, I refused.. now he wants me to help him sell off his cars and stuff, .. for he says he needs money for his defense.. but I think not... so far all I have done is listen to him, and made no recommendations or offered any real type of assistance.. its just mostly been listening to his plans.... . I dont want to but even talking and him telling me his plans is scaring me.. Keep in mind hes been a good friend for 10 years and Im trying not to be mean or blow him off but now that his plan is in action Im worried.. I dont want to be bothered by this guy... I dont want to get in any trouble.. he wants me to sell his cars.... can I get in trouble if I did that for him to raise money for ...whatever.... his defense costs.
Heres my questions.... Oviously it is not a crime if this guy decides to leave the country right now.. hes free to go anywhere he wants just like me or you ...correct? Whats going to happen when authorities find out hes gone.. ? will they issue a arrest warrent or wait until the trial and he will be a no show and then a fugative.. or ? If anyone assist him now prior to charges, like his parents or whatever.... have they commited a crime.. assist and abett. what is the definaition of : Example: if a man talks to another man about murdering his wife , discusses the details and the date when hes going to do it and the tools he will use and then he does it.. the other person can be an accessory to the murder cause he was aware of all the details even though he did not participate.. true? In this case , if his parents help him in any way with moneys and so on... would they be considered accessories even though him leaving the country DOES NOT consitite a crime , hes free to go,..,..there are no charges or does it? Does this only become a crime after the fact he is gone and then an arrest warrent is made... then any one helping him would be accoessories. Someone explain this to me.. becuse I know hes getting his parents involved in some ways.
Ok to re-iterate my worries.... I havent made formal opinions that I approve of his decisons or directed him where to go or anything like that.. mostly listend to his pending decisions..and talked to him as a fieind... hes scared and I understand.. I dont want to have him talk about this anymore.. to me .. and I dont really want to do any favors for him.. but Im worried I will become investigated after the fact.. I dont want no trouble from any authorities.. at all ... I want to be left alone.. I know where he is going but not the city and who hes staying with. I want to be dumn .. Please give me some advice not only for me but for his parents that are getting dragged into this nightmare.. define the crimes that could be committed here,., and should I be worried and completely stay away from this guy at this point ...have I done anything wrong? Really worried..
