[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 5839474, member: 9037"] If the player goes into hiding that is one thing from what the OP said it looked like the players was going to just take off and leave the area permanently. That brings up the issue of the DM then having to run two separate games. Which in the long run does not work. It is one thing to have the party separated for a short time you cut back and forth between the groups. But in this case te DM would have had to prep two separate adventures each session if he wanted to include the runaway player in the game. And the other players did not hang him out to dry. They told the DM that if he ran they would not go with him and in their eyes that would presume guilt. Again you are asking them to use player knowledge that the guy was innocent not character knowledge. For a lot of players that is not an enjoyable way to play. They don't know that he is innocent where are you getting that from? You seem to be okay with the one player playing his character but not the rest of the players that seems rather unfair. This player could use player knowledge and assume that the DM is not trying to screw him over or he could ask the DM look do I have a chance of getting a fair hearing. [/QUOTE]
