Someone is guilty of being an accessory after the fact—a Class E felony punishable by 1-6 years in prison and up to $3,000 in fines—if after a felony is committed, they know the criminal committed it and intentionally hide the criminal, help them escape, or warn them about arrest. An attorney providing legal help is not guilty under this law.

Penalty: Class E felony; 1-6 years; fine up to $3,000
