I never once said that. I said Johnson was complicit in the felonious strong-arm robbery of the convenience store which is absolutely true in every sense of the word.

An individual is complicit in a crime if he is aware of its occurrence and has the ability to report the crime, but fails to do so. As such, the individual effectively allows criminals to carry out a crime despite potentially being able to stop it from happening, either directly or by contacting the authorities. The offender is a de facto accessory to the crime, rather than an innocent bystander.

I haven't done so, but it could also be easily argued that Johnson was in fact an accomplice or accessory to the felonious robbery of the convenience store and battery of its owner. Not only didn't he report the crime, he stayed with the perp with the expressed intention of enjoying the proceeds of the crime (i.e., smoking a blunt made from the stolen cigars). He may have been a good kid, generally speaking, but that it doesn't change the fact that he was indeed complicit in the felonious robbery and battery at the convenience store. FWIW, lots of crimes are committed by young men who were "good kids" (until they weren't).
