<div>
<div><font size="2" face="Verdana">Thank you for your very clear explanation.
</font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Verdana"></font> </div>
<div><font size="2" face="Verdana">However, given your track record on Vision 2020
on legal matters, I am not inclined to accept your apodictic statement without
citations and explanations. </font></div>

accessories who, having knowledge that a felony has been
committed:</font></span>
<div><font color="#0000ff">(1)<span> </span><b>Willfully
withhold or conceal it</b> from a peace officer, judge, magistrate, grand jury
or trial jury; or </font></div>
<div><font color="#0000ff">(2)<span> </span>Harbor and protect a
person who committed such felony or who has been charged with or convicted
thereof. </font></div></span></div></div></div></div>
<div style="font:10pt Tahoma"><font face="Verdana"></font> </div>
<div style="font:10pt Tahoma"><font face="Verdana">I do not have access from home
to Lexis so I can not look up the case law on this statute. That's why I
asked the question here. I'd hoped that someone competent at law in
these matters could look it up and provided us with citations and an
explanation. Perhaps someone will.</font></div>
<div style="font:10pt Tahoma"><font face="Verdana"></font> </div>
<div style="font:10pt Tahoma"><font face="Verdana">From information presented in
the media, it appears that Bushamante committed felony aggravated assault or
assault with a deadly weapon. I appears that Ms. Benoit reported it
to a <b>person</b> at the UI thus giving that <b>person</b> knowledge that a
felony was committed. According to remarks made by Sheriff Rausch at the
local Crapo rally this week, no <b>person</b> from the UI reported it to any
local law enforcement agency. </font></div>
<div style="font:10pt Tahoma"><font face="Verdana"></font> </div>
<div style="font:10pt Tahoma"><font face="Verdana">Can not reporting a
felony be construed in ordinary language (the first test a court would apply if
the terms are not specifically defined) as an act of willfully withholding or
concealing? How is "having knowledge that a felony has occurred" to be
construed by the courts? Is not being told by a victim of a felony, a
victim whose credibility has not been questioned, amount to knowledge in the
sense that it the assertion is much more likely to be true than
not?</font></div>
<div style="font:10pt Tahoma"><font face="Verdana"></font> </div>
<div style="font:10pt Tahoma"><font face="Verdana">I hope that someone competent,
unbiased, and not lazy in authority will ask carefully research these
questions, and act forcefully upon the answers.</font></div>
