Definition: Misprision of treason is an offence found in many common law jurisdictions around the world, having been inherited from English law. It is committed by someone who knows a treason is being or is about to be committed but does not report it to a proper authority. It is therefore unusual in that it is a criminal offence which may be committed through inaction.
Example of a Letter of Misprison of Treason to Judges:
[Date]
Honorable Judges [Names of Judges, make sure you produce enough copies, one for each judge, you might want to make an extra copy for the local newspaper]
I, [Your Name], a resident of the county of [Your County], state of [Your State], and a law abiding citizen of the United States of America, am writing to you to fulfill my legal duty pursuant to U.S. Code, Title 18, Part I, Chapter 115 of acts of premeditated treason and misprision of treason:
§ 2381. Treason
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.
And § 2382. Misprision of Treason
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States and having knowledge of the commission of any treason against them, conceals and does not, as soon as may be, disclose and make known the same to the President or to some judge of the United States, or to the governor or to some judge or justice of a particular State, is guilty of misprision of treason and shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than seven years, or both.
I write this letter not as a legal expert or constitutional scholar, but as an everyday human being attempting to be an engaged and responsible citizen of the United States of America. Before presenting my information, I need to be clear about my intention. My intention is not to engage in sedition or libel, but to speak openly and honestly about the most severe case of treason in our history. I am not calling for the overthrow of our government but for the restoration of our government by bringing to justice those who actively involved is destroying the United States and its constitution.
I am writing to inform you of two counts of premeditated treason perpetrated by individuals high in the U.S. government.
The original crimes took place in New York, Virginia, and Pennsylvania on September 11, 2001; the attacks on the World Trade Center, Pentagon, the downing of a civilian airplane respectively. There is no need to name the victims individually; there were close of 3,000 deaths not to mention the other loses. The crimes I am reporting relate to how the U.S. government dealt with the criminal responsible for the original crime.
