It depends if Chris knew his friend would kill his wife. If yes, he would be
at least accessory to murder.
In the case we are discussing, the questioner is on record as knowing what is
the purpose when he hands out the knife. Damn mailbase, it records all the
msgs?
Moral of the story. When you are going to break the law you just do it and
hope you don't get caught - you don't tell mailbase or any newsgroups.
DISCLAIMER DISCLAIMER DISCLAIMER.
I do not advocating breaking the law :-))
