Ludwig is insisting "Kara never asked, planned with or helped. There is no smoking gun," Lancaster County District Attorney Donald Totaro said at a press conference at the Lancaster County Courthouse.
Yes, but if you see someone commit at least murder (and know about the second), how is not fleeing with him, throwing out cell phones in an effort to keep him from being tracked by police, not giving aid and comfort in the commission of a crime?
When the guys jump in the car after having robbed the bank, even if the driver did not realize ahead of time that is what they were going to do and he had no role in helping plan or execute the robbery, if he sits by and rides along as they escape, doing nothing at the first opportunity to turn them in, is he not an accessory after the fact?
She knew Ludwig committed murder. She voluntarily jumped in the car and ran away with him. Had she not, he might have hung around longer looking for her, or stayed in the area longer, thus facilitating his capture before his wild and reckless chase in Indiana where he was putting people's lives at risk by running them off the road, etc.
I think this is a purely a "whaaa-she's suffered enough, poor little girl" lame decision.
