I don't trust Obama either, and even when I do trust him to actually do what he says, I often wish he wouldn't.
I just think he's doing what he thinks is best for the country (I think he's wrong about that, but that's a different issue), or sometimes doing something that he thinks will be relatively neutral for the country but be good for himself or his party. I don't think he's actively trying to harm the country, even in ways that don't involve terrorism.
I haven't seen, or even heard about "The First 48". Is each episode pretty much separate from all the others? If so I may try an watch one. If they are more connected, I might not like jumping in to the story in the middle, and also might not have the time to watch the whole story from this point since I already watch too much TV.
Almost always, the entire group is charged with the murder
They guy who commits the murder, they guy who pays for it, the guy who procures the gun, the guy who arranges to have the victem walk in to the ambush, etc. They can all be charged with at least conspiracy to commit a murder, and if the murder happens than likely with murder.
They guy who tells them information about the victim that helps them, because he falls for their cover story, the guy who decides to let one of them out of prison early on parole, they guy who lends his friend money (without knowing about the plot), that gets used to buy the gun... Maybe without these people's actions the murder would not have happened, but they aren't murderers.
They might be people who did nothing particularly wrong or unusually foolish. In the example of the guy who gives the information, if it was unusually detailed and perhaps privileged information, and the cover story was ridiculous (worse than just asking for info with none), then the guy might be a fool, or be guilty of being careless, and even to be considered to have done something wrong (giving out privileged information is considered wrong, can be a formal ethical violation, or in a few cases even a crime), but he still isn't a murderer, even if his information was crucial to the murder, unless he knows about the plot and willingly assists it. |
