>>I think it IS a crime to have knowledge of a crime and not report it.<< Are you sure? Would this be a federal or state law? Reason I ask is that we just had a major case here in Alaska where three people witnessed a beaten kidnap victim who was later killed, and failed to report it. Astonishingly, they could not be prosecuted because failure to report a crime is not a crime here! It was kind of like that case in Florida, where the little girl was kidnapped by a sex offender and his roommates were never prosecuted for failing to report it. Some legislators are trying to fix the Alaska law, but they are running into problems and the change looks iffy.
