Who the [censored] turns themselves in on a murder charge?

[/ QUOTE ]

I once turned myself in on what I strongly suspected would be a serious assault charge. It's easy to fantasize about going on the lam in a situation like this but when you actually find yourself having to make that decision, you realize it's not so simple. You lose your family and all your friends. How do you get money? A job? An apartment? How do you move from country to country? Even if you can find solutions to all these problems, you can't rest easy for the rest of your life, and you can't ever be fully honest with another person. It's gonna get real lonely real fast.

I understand that there's a big difference between assault and murder charges. But these are kids, they probably expect that somehow or other things will work out & they'll get off easy in the end.

Heh. Naw, it was serious. I got into a fight with a guy at a party at Oxford. I was lucky not to go to prison for 2+ years.
Not one of the brighter episodes of my life.
