1. Where did this happen? In what city? In what city are you?

2. You could end up in jail if you are not careful.

3.You should not discuss this with anyone, not even the police, until you talk to a lawyer.

Do nothing. Talk to no one. You're in a panic and scared people get themselves in more trouble.

Once you calm down, you might consider talking to a lawyer - especially if you're subpoenaed as a witness for your cousin's preliminary exam which may or may not be held.

Given your cousin's confession, it's highly unlikely this will ever go to trial and, if it does, it won't be anytime soon.

Probably not a good idea to talk to the police. No sense doing their job for them. You may be arrested as an accomplice. This is probably a good time to get yourself an attorney. Attempted murder is a very serious offense.
