A friend confides to you that he/she has committed a particular crime and you promise never to tell. Discovering that an innocent person has been accused of the crime, you plead with your friend to give himself/herself up. He/she refuses and reminds you of your promise.

What would you do?

Yep....what she said. However, I would try to help the innocent person, if I could, by saying I know he/she didn't do it. But I wouldn't snitch.

Rat out the friend--they aren't that good a friend if they want you to be an accomplice to their misdeeds by obstructing justice, and possibly dragging you down with them.

Well, I'll tell you what, I wouldn't be willing to go down for it. I can't think of the proper term for it . . . harboring evidence, accessory. I think I would prefer that my friend just not tell me.

co-signs

Hopefully, no 'friend' ever puts me in that spot. Hopefully, they know that my ethical compass might just have me turn them in - depending on the crime. (I know 'outlaws,' have been one myself before certain stupid laws were rescinded).

But I could not be complicit in an innocent person being punished for a crime they did not do.

If it involved jail time for the innocent person, I would probably speak up.

I would try and keep my promise, but st the same time communicate to the authorities that the person accused was innocent.

Ain't much I can do, since I shouldn't have promised. Apparently I like them enough to even make a promise in the first place.
