Whoa. This post comes across quite hostile in my eyes.

Actually, I've researched this a bit and his wife is within the law on what she did. The case was brought to her law firm, she wouldn't be allowed to discuss
the court case once trial precedings had begun (however, I doubt it's going to trial). Also, if she lives under the house in which her parents reside with her then I believe the parents do have a right to know.
Ok, first of all, he married into the family, so therefore, by law,
he's not an outsider. Since the younger sister is a legal adult
then she should have acted like one and not even been involved in any part of the shoplifting, and it sounds to me that she knew it was going on, for more than just the fact that on her Myspace.com profile they were even thoughtless enough to brag about it.

Obviously their family does things differently than yours did/does, and if that's how they want to go about it you just have to sit by and let them. You can't tell her parents how to do their parenting, obviously you think they've done something right as you married their daughter.

Actually, free speech amendment covers that one - he can speak his mind as long as he is within the law. There is nothing preventing him from expressing his opinion. He can speak how he feels, what he thinks is right and wrong to his in-laws, his wife, and anyone else.

How do you know she's lying? The court hasn't even decided that yet. She could be telling the truth, even if it doesn't sound like it.

Whether or not it was her friend, she's still liable because she
knew it was happening and
didn't stop it and (allegedly) was involved enough that she was brought up on charges. By the way, Misdemenor Larceny is a
Criminal Misdemenor and since she is an adult - depending on which state she lives in - could receive up to 5 years in prison and a $5000- $8000 fine plus restitution for the items stolen on top of court fees.
I will admit that I, as well anyone not a part of this family, are hearing only
one side of the story and we really weren't there to know exactly what, and how [it], happened. Fair enough. Regardless, this is just what I know of the law and the opinion I've formed with the information I've been given.
