My boyfriend, spouse, best friend ,my kid, anyone. yes,yes,yes,yes yes. I don't like secrets like that and want no part of it.

Murder? Yes, I would. Whether I stood by them would depend on the circumstances, but I'd report them regardless (or talk them into turning themself in). I went through this with my son's sperm donor. It's a tough situation, but I think a family deserves to have answers to their questions about what happened to their loved one. My family has gone through years of pain and unanswered questions, since my dad's sister was murdered in 1978. I wouldn't want to be part of helping to hurt another family like that. I've seen how it can destroy people.

As for other felonies, it would really depend on what they were.

Um, yes, but I'd at least want their side of the story first.

Murder? Wow! I cannot imagine this occurring. Murder means that there is premeditation. But if my husband did kill somebody (I'm assuming vehicular manslaughter or in self defense), I would expect that he, himself, would call the police. If not, I think I would have do. Running from something like this would be worse than dealing with it.

"Friends help you move, real friends help you move bodies."

I don't know.

I'd join her and go on a killing spree!

Depends....Murder or killing...yes I would tell....because the victim's family would need closure.

My oldest daughter's former husband killed his second wife...it was by accident from what he said...I believe him. The scenario was, they both had been taking drugs that day, his wife's family was evidently heavy into drugs. His wife, on this evening wanted to continue to go out and party some more, he did not. (I'll call him Jeff) He was lying on the floor watching TV, she came up from behind, and hit him on the head with a lead ash tray. He says he was stunned, got up and put his hands on her throat out of anger, didn't realize it but he killed her. He panicked, dumped her body (this is what hung him).. My daughter was called as a defense witness in his trial. (Jeff) never once laid a finger on my daughter, never showed a tendency towards violence. They had a young daughter. (Jeff) was given 11 years in prison, was out on good behavior after 6 years. Part of the agreement of his getting the sentence he did was he couldn't see his daughter until she was of age. (Jeff) has been out of prison for many years, he remarried, lives a quiet life in another state. It was a sad case....this is a classic case of what drugs can do....breaks my heart.

Yes

You bet I will.

Well it would depend on the felong, but firstly I would encourage them to report it themselves. If that wasn't going to happen, then yes I think I would have to report it. That's a hard question.

No, but depending on the circumstances I might encourage them to turn themselves in.

In the hypothetical situation that I have an SO, I'd tell her that if it happened again, that would be the end of our relationship, and I'd report her. If it was murder, rape, or sexual harassment, it need only happen once.

Murder I would. Something less would depend on the circumstances.

It depends

Probably. I wouldn't stay with the person, but in some cases I may not report it. Not sure why, very morally wrong to keep the secret.
Hmm...

As anything else it would depend on the situation.

> "Friends help you move, real friends help
> you move bodies."

Good one!!!

I'm talking murder made me chuckle..

No, I don't want Laura to grow up without her mother.

I hope I'm never in that position.
Dunno.

depending on the crime

Yes.

No. I'd expect the same. Wife hasn't ratted on me yet.

> I'd join her and go on a killing spree!


Now that's the right attitude. Teamwork.

It depends. I would probably encourage them to admit to it themselves though.

Bonnie and Clyde!

Or, Natural Born Killers

That depends on who they murdered.......if it was my mother, or brothers or a friend...then I would report them for sure....if it was a politian, or someone I really hated...then maybe not.

I'd like to think "Yes" but hope I am never in the position to have to make the decision!

most likely

That's breaking the street code.... enough said

Depends on circumstances- save my life, save her own life, save an innocent person's life, get revenge on some one who hurt me or herself, possibly not.

I really don't know. It would, of course, be the right thing to do but there are several risks. The government's protection only goes so far and I'd rather not be a target. I probably would end up reporting it but it would take a lot of convincing to testify in court and I would definitely leave the area, and state, afterwards.

It's not I am gon directly to the police office and report it.
No, I am gona have a lot of conversations and discussions and maybe fights about it, then we both take the decision at the end.
And maybe yes, I would report it, I dont know, I am not sure I can do it.

Probabbly so, because the police would find out about it anyway and then I would be in trouble too for not reporting it. If not, this person might be crazy and I might be next. I think under the right circumstances, if I really think the other person deserved it, and this family member won't do it again for certain, especially if this victim was my SO's ex, I might not report it.

I know that some states have laws that if you traspass on their property you can legally kill them but others don't. I would be inclined to think, if it was self-defense and it was one of those "liberal" states where you're not allowed to kill others in self-defense, I wouldn't report it. Though its kinda hard to make a body disappear.

I was actually expecting ck to make that comment.

Did someone say 'murder!'
My current SO, no. Another SO...maybe.

It would depend on whether I thought the murder justified or not, or whether my not reporting it would make me an accessory after the fact.

It would depend on the circumstances, but probably no. I protect people I care about.

No, I would be in the cell next to her saying why did we do that.

It depends on why. Was it self defense? An accident? I'm sure he would feel terrible and going to jail wouldn't change anything.

Oh, well, if other felonies are included and my partner hadn't committed a violent act I certainly wouldn't turn him in. You have to understand we're in Mexico. The legal system is less fair (well, maybe not less fair than Texas, but . . . ) and the jails are pretty damn scary.

If he or she killed me, of course not. Otherwise it would probably depend on who is the victim and why my significant other felt he/she should die.

No. I'm imagining that it was an accident or done for a reason that I could relate to. If he just went and randomly shot someone, of course I would report him.

Yes

I would bust her myself

You should have stated "first degree murder" in the question. You do mean "premeditated" don't you? Or are you talking "self defense"?

I cannot possibly answer this as stated. I guess that means I will say, "Probably, it depends".

No, but I'd try to talk him/her into turning themselves into the police. I would want to hear their side of the story too.

Sad to say, if he did, I know who it would be. He would kill my Ex boyfriend. That's the only person he'd ever be capable of harming. He would only do it if provoked to protect me or my child or in self defense because he has been attacked and harmed by my Ex in the past. I would not turn him in. I would protect him.

Well, if it was self-defnese than it wouldn't be a felony. (I know, nitpicking).

I watch enough true crime telly to know that one person's idea of self defense can be someone else's idea of murder.

Yes

I'm so glad I don't have to think to hard on this.

My SO wouldn't do this.

On the other hand....

My close friend recently killed some people and then himself. Something obvoiusly misfired in his brain. If he had called my family after it went down, we would have helped him to hide I think.

Yes

I'd give them the opportunity to go to the authorities and turn themselve in. If they didn't, I wouldn't hesitate to drop the dime on them.

Unless it was obviously a case of self defense, I would turn them in.
