It doesn't matter.

Three animals in Albuquerque have been charged with the merciless beating of a homeless man. They repeatedly smashed his head with cinder blocks. Why? Because one of them was mad at his girlfriend, so he solved that problem by attacking a helpless man he didn't even know. This wasn't the first homeless person the trio had attacked -- they had been assaulting people for a year or more.

Now they're all pointing the fingers at each other. "I only watched while they attacked him" goes the line. It really doesn't matter whether they watched or whether they wielded the cinder blocks and threw the punches and kicks. They are all equally depraved and guilty.
