If a lifelong friend told you they had murdered ?

Question

somebody would you turn them in regardless?

Answer 1

Yes, or get them to confess. They may have been my lifelong friend, but they didn't become my friend through murdering.

Answer 2

Yes. Think of that persons friends and family. Also, you can go to jail for hearing about it and not turning them in.  

Answer 3

No, I'd talk to them, figure out what happened. and Convince them to turn themselves in.

Answer 4

Yes because you wouldn't want to get involved in that.

Answer 5

Yes because think about it this happen to you. if someone close to you got murdered and a friend oh your knew who did it wouldn't you be mad if they kept that secret to protect your friendship.

Answer 6

First off they are not much of a friend if they did and tried to get you involved by telling you. I get friendship but somethings cross the line.

Answer 7

Dont ever talk to that person again! First of all that is sooo worng, and u dont want 2 be dragged into that stuff! also how could ever even consider being friends with him after he/ she did a terrible thing like that?!!! dump whom ever it is right now!!!!!

Answer 8

yes dahh!

Answer 9

yeah turn them in

Answer 10

yes definatly, what are u thinking about not turning them in??? if anyone found out that u had kept that to urself u will get thrown in jail aswell

Answer 11

Yes you dont let somebody get away with that. Think about the persons family.

Answer 12

h**l no you prick, they're your friend

Answer 13

That is a very good question, its kind of a "do this, do that" kinda of questions because if you tell and they go to jail...when they get out of prison they might murder you, or a loved one of yours.....but if you don't, think of that persons family and friends who want bad things done to the murderer(which should happen)

so what i would do is talk to him/her, and convince them to turn themselves in  

Answer 14

if it was for a stupid reason you should turn him  or her in, but if it was for protection or something good you should talk to them and see why they would do that.

Answer 15

well i would tell him or her , no matter if theyr my bestest friends i would tell them to turn themselfs in.it would be better than you hiding and being a fugitive.so then they maybe wont give you a long time in prison.but no for me it wouldnt be nice to turn them in regardless.

Answer 16

No, I would not.

Answer 17

If you don't then you could be charged as an accessory after the fact. You can't keep a secret like this, you must report it to the police.

Answer 18

maybe depends on if was some one I hate or one of my family because if one of my family was murdered I would turn him in, but I would be like do not get me involved.

Answer 19

Nope. They had better have a d**n good reason for what they did though. I'd tell them to get a lawyer though. I firmly believe in Gil Grishom's abilities (CSI reference).

Umm.. What the h**l does being a politician have to do with anything?  

Answer 20

yeah

Answer 21

I know it would be wrong not to turn them in, but it would depend on who and why.

Answer 22

Yes, you don't let anyone  get away with murder. Think about  how god  gave you life and how much you enjoy it. Is it fear for someone to just come out of  no where and take it from you. Your existence. Even if you aren't happy that your here on earth that person could have been living there life. Their dreams  and goals maybe  weren't archived yet and all they needed to  do was reach out and  because of someone else there life are taken away it's not right. That person could have been the worlds greatest scientist, or america's next president, or a singer a preacher anything their purpose one earth and because of ignorance their dreams are are shattered. There souls are lost. If they had only had one more chance they would have made it somewhere special. And I'm sorry but we are not the ones  to make  choices of who dies and who lives no matter how much   that person hurt your mom ,your little brother you, or who ever N0 no one deserves to die by murder.

Answer 23

Depends on the reasons why? (always has to be a depends doesn't there). If they had done if for the sake of it, for a bit of fun to see if they could get away with it, then yeah, I think I would.

If they done it because they observed this person doing something i.e. molesting a child, beating up someone completely defenceless then I think I would be split over my decision.  

Answer 24

I'm afraid I would have to to to the police and report it.  If there is good reason to kill, they will find that out.  If there was not good reason, then they will find that out too. The punishment would be according to that evidence.  I'd have to listen to what the court said.  I am the granddaughter of two very wonderful people who were murdered.  I believe that if you can't do the time, don't do the crime.

Answer 25

no, i wouldn't but i'd try to talk them into handing themselves in and i'd probably act different around them as it would be a difficult situation to come to terms with but no, they're a friend and i wouldn't turn them in but everyone is different; also, i suppose i depends on who they murdered.
