aggravated homicide in every U.S. jurisdiction and many countries, punishable by life imprisonment or death, plus permanent sex‑offender or child‑abuser registration where applicable. There is no lawful way to “seal” or hide such a case; attempts to conceal, destroy evidence, intimidate witnesses, or move assets add separate felonies like obstruction, tampering, and fraud, each carrying additional years in prison and financial penalties.[library +3]
