Are you guilty if you are at the scene of a crime but not an actual participant?
In almost all cases, no. You would not be guilty, but if you saw what happened, you are a witness.Another View: The above is true only if you were truly an un-involved witness who just happened to be at the scene when the crime went down.HOWEVER - if you were there accompanying the person or persons who committed the offense, YES - you could be charged as an accessory.
