Haven't I asked this question before?

Probably - it's definitely a SSDD scenario.

In this instance it's probably a little different than my usual insistence that parents be held with the same responsibility/accountability for the crimes committed by their offspring. It's generic of course and I'd not expect a 70 year old to be responsible for their 45 year old son murdering a convenience store clerk, for example.
This particular mother/grandmother was an actual accessory to this crime committed by her daughter by not intervening immediately, even if that meant simply calling the police the second she discovered the daughter attacking the "screaming blanket". Perhaps she feared her daughter might turn on her but fear has to be dismissed in the justice system as an excuse for reporting crimes as witnessed.

I get her fear of daughter turning on her, but she was outside of the house when it happened (saw it through the doorway), so therefore should have been able to run to a safer location and called.
The whole 'and then the screaming stopped' should have been a big clue that something bad was going down.

Just supports my accusation of her being an accessory. IIRC there are some actual laws that are intended to punish people for not acting upon a known crime in progress, can't remember what it's called. Also believe it's not a federal thing but possibly? Maybe the brain had too many adult beverage atoms getting randy yesterday because today I'm all over the place mentally.
