Original Note:
This is an incorrect analysis of the statute. Silence is insufficient and isnt a crime. United States v. Ciambrone, 750 F.2d 1416. To be guilty, one would need to take affirmative steps to cover up the crime. United States v. Stuard, 566 F.2d 1. Some other analysis: https://casetext.com/statute/united-states-code/title-18-crimes-and-criminal-procedure/part-i-crimes/chapter-1-general-provisions/section-4-misprision-of-felony/analysis?citingPage=1&sort=relevance
