for being a run away criminal? like for murder? would you assume that he/she is innocent because you feel you know them or wonder if they were guilty of the crime? would you turn them in or talk to them first about it? could they talk you out of turning them in? i was watching unsolved mysteries and this couple had their new friend over and they all watched the show together and this one guy was wanted for murder and as the pictures were being shown and description made they looked over at their new friend and realized he was the killer!! i think if it was a friend and it was over murder where they had dna proof or something i would turn them in.. if he/she was a person of interest but not charged i may talk to them first.. if it was a spouse or a significant other i dont know what i would do.. other than freak out!! what would you do?

if it was my partner,i also would freak out.but then i would support him all the way(as i know him better ) would continue to unless he is proven guilty.the same goes for my friend too.

I'd try to convince him to turn himself in to clear his own name, providing he didn't do it. If he refused to turn himself in, I'd give him a chance to leave and then turn him in...after all I don't want to be charged with harboring a criminal and they would have to prove that I let leave, all I'd have to say is I confronted him and he took off.

I would freak out too...then I would talk to them about it..see if I could tell if they were telling the truth...even if they told me they did it.....call a lawyer and consult with them before I kicked them to the curb....

Really this is difficult..i don't know what to do if i were on your side also..i have never experience this one.. One thing i can only advise to you, is to set your mind and heart ready..you can never know what will happen..^_^

If I just meet that particular person, of course I would freak out! Especially if that person is sitting next to me when I see the news. I can't imagine what I would do. Freaking out too much might cause harm as the person can act recklessly after that. I think I run out from the house first and get some help. But if I already know him/her for years and know he/she will never do that, I will talk and try to help.
