He did?
Was this some public statement, or did you two go fishing together?
The latter would make me jealous so I'm believing it and resenting you.

So Joseph told on the guys and he himself didn't get arrested

Yet. What we have here is a case of a group of individuals that were caught, and now ratting on eachother. No one went to the police on their own. I think according to Texas law, the police can charge all of them.

The police can't charge them all because the fight and the shooting were two different things. Unless everyone in the SUV verbally agreed and thusly conspired, to shoot at those guys.

O

Unfortunate natural progression and escalation.
Glad I walked far, far away from the crime scene a long time ago.

Can't wait to hear all the testimony.
KJ is on the spot there for sure.
You can bet one guy is going to say......

"I didn't know the gun was loaded, and I'm so sorry my friend.
Yes, Your Honor, I kilt him, but I'll never, ever do it again."

That's the thing, how do we know they didn't? No one came forward on their own until someone was identified.

You do know the defendants don't have to prove that they didn't right? Someone has to prove that they actually did.

Not sticking up for the kid at all, just pointing out the legal logic that was missing from that statement. Sure no one came forward but that does not necessarily mean that everyone in the car knew what was going to happen before it did and agree to it.

Like I mentioned earlier in the thread, multiple people can be charged by law, depending on the state. For example, you and a friend leave a bar. Your friend pulls a gun and kills someone. You both take off.

The police find out it was both of you at the scene. They seek you out. That's all they have to prove. They don't need to prove your intent. You both get charged with murder. At least that's the law in Colorado. I think it's the same in Texas, just not 100%.

Those type of laws are meant for co-conspirators and also leverage to make the friend talk rather than plead the 5th.
