Just throwing this out there, but accessory after the fact (18 U.S.C. 3) has the following elements: First, that the crime of [specify crime' alleged in the Indictment was committed by 'specify offenderl; Second, that the defendant had knowledge of the commission of that crime and [the offender's' participation in it: Third, that with such knowledge, the defendant in some way assisted 'the offender' with the specific purpose or plan to hinder or prevent [the offender's' apprehension, trial or punishment.

I don't have strong feelings about this in any direction, just noticed it while looking for the misprision elements and figured worth mentioning, depending on our views of what the conduct is most appropriately encompassed by.
