Its interesting that that two were set free with no charges; not even a misdemeanor. Its just seems so odd to me that you plot and plan and get a free walk. That doesn't necessarily mean they should go to years and years in prison if they weren't directly involved but a free walk seems a little odd. They are adults and whether or not FBI agents are asking them questions they still have a responsibility to say "no". While in this case it may not constitute a crime I don't think it was innocent behavior. One of the reasons why I advocate for mental health as an alternative for criminal conviction if the involvement was mild and/or non violent (MI. Track and Solve) While most of us just do what our social groups expect us to do we still have some responsibility over our behaviors; or at least should. When you move from talking to acting there are some boundaries that are crossed where risks become more heightened. That doesn't mean everyone in the group was involved in the same level but that their engagement level and willingness to violate existing laws (and in a deeper way societal values) should be weighed.
