What crimes were those?
"Police say Jackson went to the victim's home to hang out and smoke marijuana. Jackson came inside without knocking, introduced two other men and left."
"Police say Jackson knew the person who lived at the apartment."
"He's what under the law we would call principle 2, and a principal 2 and offense is just as guilty as if you had committed it yourself,â€
​So because he knew the guys that committed the crime he got accused of the same crime all though he was't carrying a weapon and didn't rob anybody. Is that basically what happened? Sounds like a jury, presented with all the facts, didn't think Jackson knew the real criminals intended to rob his friend.
