Ok. you don't know how the law works, and that's ok. Legally speaking, GG would likely be considered an accessory after the fact rather than an accessory to murder itself.One of the characters was present at the murder of a federal agent, but did not participate in it. What could Gretchen do, she is a weak woman, she should not protect the feds from their stupidity, she should not have been there at all.
Accessory After the Fact:
- Defined as knowingly assisting a perpetrator after a crime has occurred, intending to help them avoid arrest, prosecution, or punishment.
- By witnessing the murder, observing the disposal of the body, withholding that information from law enforcement, and continuing the romantic and operational relationship with Jamal, the GG has significantly crossed this line.
- Knowledge: She clearly knew a murder occurred and witnessed direct evidence (body disposal).
- Action (or Inaction): She intentionally withheld critical evidence and information from authorities.
- Intent: Her ongoing relationship and silence strongly suggest intent to help Jamal evade detection or prosecution.
- She would almost certainly face charges as an accessory after the fact, potentially facing significant criminal penalties.
- Prosecutors could also explore obstruction of justice charges due to her active participation in the concealment of the crime through silence.
Yes, she's criminally implicated—specifically as an accessory after the fact rather than directly as an accessory to murder. She's in deep trouble and would likely face several years (decades) in federal prison if discovered.
Additionally, she would almost certainly be brought in on RICO charges by assisting the gang in its criminal activity with the Biker gang, even if she wasnt the one to pull the trigger. Those RICO charges would make her just as liable as anyone else in the gang for any crime they commit during from that point on.
