My nephew was killed by someone right behind his house.The person ran him down and backed up over him and left. I and the police have been questioning people, but no one knows what happen. But the guy that was with him said he saw him get into the car. This guy told my sister-law what happen,but she isn't talking to the police. If she does know the truth can she get on trouble for holding it?

Yes. It's called witholding information or evidence from the police. Besides, the right thing to do is tell the police.

You should ask yourself why would she not be cooperating in the first place? Anyway, just tell the police about this and they will take care of it. Murder cases are taken extremely seriously, more than most people could ever imagine. They will bring her in and let her know that she will be going to prison for a long time unless she tells the truth.

The Police and the justice system dont work we need more vigilantis; if someone did something to your family you should have the right to a vendetta like in Italy

and if she doesn't tell them on her own and they find out she knows something they will send her a subpoena to appear in court as a witness and then she will HAVE TO TELL THEM the truth and nothing but the truth

Yes, withholding evidence is a crime. Tell the police, or You'll be as guilty as she is.

Accessory after the fact, obstructing justice, impeding a criminal investigation ...all kinds of charges can follow if you withhold evidence.

if she doesn't release the information to the police it can make her part of the crime. she needs to talk or else she'll have to face some serious problems of her own
