Apparently, the prosecution cited a case from 1963 wherein a man was convicted of a crime for holding his friend's coat while the friend was in a fist-fight.
Amazing that such a case happened, and amazing that it was cited as relevant to this case.
- jimbokun 18y agoObviously holding the coat of a man in a fight is an extreme case, but isn't being an accessory to law breaking commonly used as a justification for prosecution?
- jpwagner 18y agoI just don't equate that as accessory. What about the valet that parked his car? What if the man had stolen his coat?
