Misprision: Are you guilty?

Word comes this morning that Philip Russell, who had been the attorney for a church embroiled in a child pornography case, admitted yesterday to one count of misprision of a felony.

What, you say?

Misprision, as Merriam-Webster holds, is "concealment of treason or felony by one who is not a participant in the treason or felony."

Mr. Russell got in trouble for destroying the church computer on which the music director of Christ Episcopal Church in Greenwich, CT, kept child pornography.

New Jersey being New Jersey, what are the odds that politically engaged adults over the age of 18 have committed misprision at some point or other?
