Re: aiding and abetting

This question is difficult to answer because you are not clear on the facts. Further, I have never heard the word "twamp". What is that?

Generally, simply being arrested for aiding another in crime does not, in itself, indicate that you are in possession of illegal substances. Did you tell the undercover cop about what you had in your room? How did he know, if not from you?
