compounding a crime

Read a random definition: retaliatory eviction

A quick definition of compounding a crime:

Compounding a crime: This is when someone agrees to not report a serious crime in exchange for something valuable, or when they hide a criminal or the crime they committed. It is a type of misdemeanor that involves breaking the law during a legal process. It is different from misprison of a felony.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Compounding a crime is a type of crime that involves judicial procedure. It is a misdemeanor that occurs when someone enters into an agreement for valuable consideration that they will not prosecute another individual for a felony. It can also occur when someone conceals the whereabouts of a felon or the commission of a felony. This is different from misprison of a felony.

  • John is robbed at gunpoint by his neighbor, Tom. Tom offers John $10,000 to not report the robbery to the police. If John accepts the money and agrees not to report the crime, he is compounding a crime.
  • Sarah's brother is wanted by the police for committing a robbery. Sarah knows where her brother is hiding but refuses to tell the police. By concealing her brother's whereabouts, Sarah is compounding a crime.

These examples illustrate how compounding a crime occurs when someone agrees to not report a felony or conceals the commission of a felony. It is important to note that compounding a crime is illegal and can result in criminal charges.

Going to law school with you is even more fun than going to San Sebastian, Irún, Hendaye, Biarritz, Bayonne or being sick to my stomach on the Travesera de Gracia in Barcelona partly because in your orange shirt you look like a better happier St. Sebastian partly because of my love for you, partly because of your love for yoghurt partly because of the fluorescent orange tulips around the birches partly because of the secrecy our smiles take on before people and statuary

Man, there is this girl I visit every month at this one restaurant who I used to go skinny dipping with naked like @ararara always talked about in San Diego. We randomly reconnected like two months ago at this place she works at and we talk a lot about John Steinbeck books. If I don't visit her this month, she might be sad. However, this is my first day not sick and I worry about getting her sick and I am broke. What should I do LSD?
