Janice, I'm gonna kill Bill Gates. You know nothing more about anything than you did before I called. This is not evidence, at this point it isn't even hearsay. If I am later arrested on the suspicion of having murdered Bill, then I believe it is your theoretical obligation to inform the law about what you know. You're example is flawed in several respects. First of all, when someone tells you something then that can be used as evidence and in a court of law it's called direct testimony that would bring it out. Hearsay would be if a third person was told about the threat. That testimony that someone told me that you made the threat would be hearsay. Finally, there is no "theoretical obligation" in the law to do anything except what the law prescribes. If you are a party to a crime and fail to tell authorities you can become an accomplice to the crime regardless whether you pull the trigger and so on. I think there are many misconceptions about the law and this is what many people don't understand about the White House predicament at this time. In otherwords they are in deep doo doo. Ted
