I wouldn't say it's easy. Your aunt did a brave but foolish thing, and obstruction of justice is a serious offense. She needs a lawyer, and one place she can look for defense counsel is our website, http://attorneypages.com
A lot might depend on how and where this happened, and just how angry she got the police, as well as how her son's case goes. A good lawyer can make a very big difference, sometimes, in a case like this, because he or she can talk to the prosecutor, lawyer-to-lawyer.
