Morality
Helping someone else find a corpse ensuring that your son gets the death penalty VERSES saying nothing and maybe your son only gets life (or escapes from the country).
Where does what is right weigh in on each side. You're not reporting your son for stealing a candy bar to help him learn a lesson in honesty. You are actively participating in assuring that your son pays for his crimes. There is no learning from it, that can undo what was done. Yes, GP's parents are in pain, but so are BLs parents. They aren't going to hold hands and help ease each others pain. So, I think perhaps, I would leave morality for the stolen candy bars and follow my lawyers advice in this situation.
Okay I understand what you are saying. But just for a moment, step outside the way you are thinking and think with the heart. If someone called you and said my daughter is missing she was with your son, is he there? And let's say for the sake of argument you know your son is a mischievous rapscallion. And you know he is mendacious. And you go and you ask him and he won't answer. Do you do everything to cover for him and his ways? Or do you answer the phone or send a text like I suggested earlier. If you want to protect your son, you do that. If you want to do the right thing, you answer the phone.
