A friend came by my house while I was asleep. Another friend stopped by too. They were looking at a gun and the one friend committed suicide in my drive way. The other friend is a felon, he moved the body and took the gun. I am on probation and I didn't know any of this. What would I be charged with if the police charge me? What about the one who moved his body?
