I want to know if I can be help liable?

Here is the situation,

My friend is in a divorce and it is almost finalized.

This same friend spends a lot of time with another one of our friends, wife of 14 years. They tend to do a lot of things together at all hours of the day and night by themselves.

About 8 months ago I told (will use) Bob to watch his wife around (will use) Mike and he told me that I was crazy and that there was no way that Mike would do that to him. I then told him again to watch his wife and he told me that he would kill Mike if he ever did anything.

Well I just found out that Bob's wife just filed for a divorce three weeks ago.

As of right now Bob doesn't know that Mike is having an affair with his wife and just thinks his wife and he are going through a rough time at the moment. But, the word is now out and it won't be long before Bob finds out the truth about his wife and Mike.

I do believe that Bob will not just give Mike a beating but will kill him.

When Bob finds out the truth and if he were to follow through with his intension's that he told me 8 months ago, can I be held liable for not saying anything?

You are under no legal duty to stop or prevent a crime from happening. In this case you have no duty to say anything to anybody regading what Bob told you.

However, for your own safety I would not get involved at all in the personal affairs of these people since you know one of them is crazy enough to kill someone. And if Bob is crazy enough to kill Mike he may think you were involved too and try to kill you. I don't want to scare you but this world is full or nut-cases. You should disassociate yourself from this group.

I would also suggest you seek advice from someone in law enforcement about this matter especially if you don't want to see someone killed. Maybe they could do something to prevent an ugly situation from happening.

Thanks for the good information.

I don't want to see anything happen to anyone, and I no longer speak to Mike over this to warn him.

I just hope that Bob take this easy.

Thanks
