tvc184 Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) She should also be charged as an accomplice to any crime they commit.Although Texas doesn't have accomplices per se, they simply charge the crime to anyone involved. She wouldn't be held as an accomplice to escape, just Escape as if she had broken out of jail. Additionally she could be charged with Organized Crime/Escape (similar to the bikers in Waco) since at least 3 people took part and any additional crime they committed. Organized Crime/ Escape alone is up to 99 years or equal in penalty to Murder. Welcome to Texas.

That's even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvc184 Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 So if they murder someone, she will simply be charged with murder, not an accomplice to murder? That's even better.TX does not have "accomplices". Some states for example might charge a guy in an armed robbery and charge the getaway driver with Accomplice to Aggravated Robbery. That in some areas means a drop of one degree in offense level so it may go from a maximum of 50 years in prison to 20 years. TX makes no such distinction.In TX we can also use the Organized Crime chapter and in the case, you don't charge them with the original crime (for example Murder) but Organized Crime/Murder. The difference is that as an accomplice you had to take part in the office such as a getaway driver or lookout. Under organized crime it can be at what is called an arm's length or wholesale level of involvement. Such as, you got a gun for a guy and he and two other guys pulled that robbery. In that case you could be charged in Organized Crime/Aggravated Robbery. Unlike accomplice laws which sometime reduce the penalty, under TX organized crime laws, it raises the penalty. Breaking into a home in TX is a 2nd Degree Felony or up to 20 years in jail. If it is part of organized crime, it becomes a 1st Degree Felony and up to 99 years in jail. Escape from a prison in TX is a 2nd Degree Felony but taking part in it for organized crime raises it to the 99 year maximum or equal to Murder. In our state, she took part in an arm's length relationship and that makes her available for the enhanced penalty. ALSO.... for organized crime, you are responsible for the highest crime committed. So if you get a gun for Aggravated Robbery and they shoot and kill the store clerk, it would be Organized Crime/Capital Murder which carries life without parole as a minimum.

Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted June 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 What does the law state in NY? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvc184 Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 What does the law state in NY? Reading the NY code, it looks roughly the same as TX. It is worded differently (has more gibberish) but I think the intent is the same as far as an accomplice. Like TX law, the NY law simply says that a person "is criminally responsible for such conduct" when he has the required culpable mental state as is required.

BLUEDOVE3 Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Don't forget now, the reports mentioned that she was suppose to drive them away but changed her mind because she didn't want to "hurt her husband."

If a woman pays someone to kill her uncle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a woman pays someone to kill her uncle.That is correct.... mostly. If you pay someone to kill another person, it is not just Murder but Capital Murder and death sentence eligible. If a woman pays someone to kill her husband and it happens, her minimum penalty is life without parole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvc184 Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 On a side note, solicitation of murder in TX carries up to life in prison. Simply asking about murder for hire is equal to an actual murder even if the murder is never even attempted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baddog Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Matt was shot in the head 3 times. Sweat, who was unarmed, was shot twice in the torso. Personally, I like the way it went down.

thetragichippy Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 TVC.......He was shot in the back......twice......while running unarmed......I get why it was done, and I agree with it......BUTI didn't think a cop could shoot an unarmed man in the back running away......He was obviously not in fear of his life....was it because he escaped?
