I'm glad she's charged with something. I don't completely believe that she feared for her life.
I don’t believe it at all. Total BS.

I think Accessory to Murder could be up to life in prison. Could they still charge her with that but give her less time? Does anyone know what the minimum sentence could be? I guess I can look it up, but maybe someone knows offhand.I am hoping for accessory to murder or more. Just wishful thinking I'm sure, but one can wish Can't wait til Friday!!!
I don’t want to hear anymore of this “Krystal felt threatened.” Krystal Lee got caught up in her own lasso.Here's the video from GMA:
Well, if the original charge is Accessory to Murder than I would think that would be a pretty good deal. For her anyway.
Maybe a lawyer could tell us if there is another accessory charge that would be less time, like accessory to a felony or something, just not murder.
If it's just tampering with evidence it would seem that they are letting her off too easily. Imo
Thanks! Is there a more general type of accessory charge like accessory to a crime, but not necessarily murder, that she could plea to?Accessory after would be less than the others.
If you are talking about being involved in the murder in some way or assisting prior to the murder then the charge would be Conspiracy which a penalty range one class below the crime conspired to. So for murder, which is a Class 1 felony, Conspiracy to murder would be a Class 2 felony. The penalty for a Class 2 felony is 8 to 24 years.I think Accessory to Murder could be up to life in prison.

Her family said she was only helping because she was scared for her life? That doesn't make her reasoning sound too good.It's on GMA as well this morning. They said her family broke the news that she was pleading guilty and that she was only helping because she was scared for her life. She is suspected of driving the cellphone to Idaho so far.
I am already anticipating the trial of PF and the battle between lawyers when/if she gets on the stand.
Oh, wow, thanks.If you are talking about being involved in the murder in some way or assisting prior to the murder then the charge would be Conspiracy which a penalty range one class below the crime conspired to. So for murder, which is a Class 1 felony, Conspiracy to murder would be a Class 2 felony. The penalty for a Class 2 felony is 8 to 24 years.
If you are talking about Accessory then in Colorado that means "after the fact". An accessory after the fact to a Class 1 felony (murder) is charged as a class 4 felony which is punishable by 2 to 6 years.
Colorado law on "accessory to crime "| 18-8-105 C.R.S.

Being an accessory to a crime in Colorado
In Colorado, it is a crime to give assistance of any kind to someone who is suspected of or has committed a crime. This crime is known as being an "accessory to crime" or being an accessory after the fact.
Being an accessory is prohibited under Section 18-8-105 of the Colorado Revised Statutes, which provides:
(1) A person is an accessory to a crime if, with intent to hinder, delay, or prevent the discovery, detection, apprehension, prosecution, conviction, or punishment of another for the commission of a crime, he renders assistance to such person.
(2) “Render assistance” means to:
(a) Harbor or conceal the other; or
(a.5) Harbor or conceal the victim or a witness to the crime; or
(b) Warn such person of impending discovery or apprehension; except that this does not apply to a warning given in an effort to bring such person into compliance with the law; or
(c) Provide such person with money, transportation, weapon, disguise, or other thing to be used in avoiding discovery or apprehension; or
(d) By force, intimidation, or deception, obstruct anyone in the performance of any act which might aid in the discovery, detection, apprehension, prosecution, conviction, or punishment of such person; or
(e) Conceal, destroy, or alter any physical or testimonial evidence that might aid in the discovery, detection, apprehension, prosecution, conviction, or punishment of such person.
JMO She was too busy making plans with PF.Why didn’t she come forward Before Kelsey had to die is my question? Of course she’s going to plea a deal to save her own skin now after the fact. She deserves time in jail imo. I hope she gets some time to think about what she could have prevented in the first place. Moo
. Scared for her life because of public perception of her she may be safer in jail .I really hope she's held accountable for her part not just given a slap on the hand .Her family said she was only helping because she was scared for her life? That doesn't make her reasoning sound too good.
If you fear for your life! Call LE : PERIOD! She would have hopefully saved Kelsey's life, I am hoping the Berreths will file suit against KKL.I don’t believe it at all. Total BS.
