Brian Laundrie's parents could face consequences for not sharing information with law enforcement, according to a Florida-based criminal defense attorney.
"If the parents lawyered up very early on and they haven't really made any statements other than to friends prior to this becoming an investigation [into] Brian Laundrie, then it may be kind of tricky. It may be difficult because I'm not sure what crime they committed," Ajay Pallegar, managing attorney at Pallegar Law in Tampa, Florida, told Fox News.
Laundrie's parents could be charged with an "an accomplice-type liability" such as "aiding and abetting" if they were involved in hiding a weapon, covering up a crime, or they could face more serious charges for being directly involved in criminal activity, he explained.
