OHIO: As of Friday afternoon, there are 34,566 cases in the state, 2,131 deaths, and 5,947 hospitalizations, according to the Ohio Department of Health.
In the normal (civilian) course of events, wouldn't the companions of the accused also be guilty of the crime(s)? Not that I would be surprised by a different application of the law for police and civilians.
I believe the term is “accessory.” In this case it’s a bigger deal than that, though, because as police officers they had responsibility to ensure the person’s safety, and knew better. They knew it was wrong and didn’t stop the officer. Accessory to murder.

DeleteThat depends on how the law reads in any given state. I am personally not a fan of that particular law.

DeleteRight. That's different than an actual murder charge. It would be particularly appropriate if they had tried to cover up what happened.
