This bill increases the penalty for helping someone evade justice after they commit murder. Currently, being an accessory to any crime is a Class 5 felony, but this bill makes it a Class 4 felony (more serious) if you're helping someone who committed first-degree or second-degree murder escape detection or punishment.
