I keep thinking of AJ. Here is a man of a certain age, retraining for a new career in supply chain management. Instead of actually doing a co-op practicum in that specific role, he finds himself mopping floors.

What a waste of his practicum. I think a lot of practicums end up this way, seen as a source of free labor, to be used/abused as the manager sees fit. The practicum student is at the bottom in a power relationship. They could complain, but risk losing the practicum and possibly forfeiting their certification. In this case, AJ also was working under his son-in-law, who supervised him and got him the placement.
AJ said he went home to talk the situation of the Bosma truck with his wife and daughter, before deciding if he would tell police where to find the truck. Here is a family man who spent his mornings before work with his grandchildren. Clearly, he was afraid for his wife, daughter, grandchildren and himself. He said he was also afraid for DM and SS. In court, we learned that SS stormed away when AJ discussed it with him.

Don't ask, don't tell. DM was in charge.
I don't understand who AJ was most afraid of, and why. Here he was, with his whole family dragged into the mess. The elder of his family, AJ was subordinate to his son-in-law. Was he most afraid for his grandchildren?
I wonder what motivated him to go the police when he feared for the safety of his loved ones. He knew it was the right thing to do. He was obviously tormented (vomiting), but his fear was considerable. Something made him step forward. He knew his son-in-law wanted him to keep quiet. Was the risk of staying silent greater than stepping forward? Was he safer in his own mind by getting this out in the open? His concern for Tim Bosma was never in question. His reaction was visceral.
