Tim and Tom kill Jim in the middle of a plain under thin layer of snow. The informer calls Tim over the cellular phone, to tell him that the police will be there rather soon. There isn’t enough time to run from there, so the contact with the policemen on the plain is imminent. But even though the police arrested them pretty soon, they were not prosecuted. Can you explain it?

Tim and Tom where the children of some big shot.
And nobody liked Jim anyway.

The police arrested Tim and Tom. But the prosecution finds out later, when the snow melts, that the murder occurred just on the other side of the border, inside a different country where there is no extradition treaty signed between them. So the crime occurred outside their their jurisdiction and so they could not proceed with the case against Tim and Tom nor could they extradite them to the other country for their crimes.

If Jim attacked Tom and Tim first, they can say they killed Jim in self-defense.

Tim, Tom, and Jim only had two sets of cloths between them, so after a game of rock paper scissors, Jim lost and so was left without any clothes. They were lost/stuck and were waiting for the police to come and free them or get them. However, Jim died.
Why is the title Equalizer anyways?...

By the time the police caught up to them, the snow is much thicker, which made it impossible to look for the body. By the time the snow thawed out, there's no evidence ( or maybe not enough ) to prosecute them.

Were both of them equally involved in the crime? Or was it just Tim?

For the effect. If it were a simpler title, maybe you wouldn't enter this topic at all. If you were a bee, I would have to get your attention with flower juice.

Nice try but it wasn't blizzard. It wasn't snowing at all.

Tim and Tom were undercover agents in a covert operation. Part of their assignment was to kill Jim, to keep their cover they had to be arrested.

It was Tim who commited the murder. But he could not be prosecuted because he and Tom were Siamese twins and Tom was innocent.

They did not use any weapon to kill Jim. They simply brought him naked and put him on snow. He froze to death. During the prosecution, they told that they were trying to save Jim.

They killed Jim first and then they lied down on the ground. When the police arrived, Jim was dead and Tim and Tom were freezing. The police and the judge thought that Tim and Tom were just lucky.
