Saw a story somewhere that said he didn't do it but was present and ran. Guilt by association. Allegedly one of the others present did the snatching.
If hanging around stupid people makes a person a criminal then I may be looking at life without parole for the time I spend on this site. :lol::lol:
It is easy to be nailed as an accomplice in a crime but how many of us have been around others who have done something illegal when we didn't expect it to happen. Does accepting a ride from somebody and later finding out that there were drugs and/or weapons in the car make you a criminal? It can if the car gets stopped with you in it but it doesn't mean that you are a bad person.
The only thing with guys who have something like this on their records is that they need to be informed by the program that they are expected to demonstrate better judgement in the future in terms of who they hang around with because additional issues will be looked at as a pattern of behavior, not a mistake.
