no I did not overlook the definition. I'm just overlooking your posts. notice that all news sources and all LEO agencies have not classified him as a fugitive.
"Suspect at large"
"Suspect on the run"
"2nd Suspect"
Understand, does not matter if they classified them or not. The term is really generic term meaning running away from the law or running away from getting arrested. They (Fugitive) KNOW it because it means lifetime imprisonment. Crimes like that usually automatically will receive lifetime sentence. Do you think these suspect willing to surrender knowing that they will be forever locked up?
The "fugitive" means refused to appear at the court after got out of jail (bail out) - possibly hide in anywhere.
DHB - bombing suspect isn't fugitive because he hasn't been in jail and bail out.
