You've just witnessed a murder, what do you do?

Question

ignore it like nothing happened, or go tell authorities?

Of course this is curiousity based

Answer 1

Ignore it like nothing happened, cause if you tell the cops about it the first thing they will try to do is try to say you did it, then you have to prove that you did not have anything to do with it, plus you will have to fork out big bucks for a lawyer

Answer 2

The only thing reasonable is to call 911 and report it. If someone murdered someone dear to you would you want an eye wittness to just ignore it? The murderer would get away and maybe never be caught. Is that what you would want? Do your civic duty and report it as soon as possible.

Answer 3

911

Answer 4

Tell authorties. If you don't, and they find out that you witnessed it without telling anyone, you can be prosecuted for withholding evidence.

Dear god, I hope this is just a question stemming from curiosity and you didn't actually witness a murder!

Answer 5

go tell the authorities of course! It will turn up sooner or later and if I don't tell I'll be in big trouble.

Answer 6

After what I saw sunk in and after I puked, I'd tell what I know, because the killer might not get caught other wise and he shouldn't be able to get away with it to probably do it again.

Answer 7

tell the authorities of course. if i saw someone steal something i won't snitch. but a murder, that's different. that someone's life.

Answer 8

I would tell the authorities.

Answer 9

Call 911, and then jump around... the excitement of what just happened would overwhelm me..

Answer 10

call 9/11
