Aiding And Abetting

In order for an aiding and abetting charge to stand up in court, three requirements must be met:

1. A person other than the one charged with aiding and abetting committed the crime.
2. The defendant must have helped that person in order to have the crime commissioned.
3. The defendant must have been aware of the fact that criminal plans or criminal intent was in place.

Accidentally assisting in a crime is not a punishable offense and is not classed as aiding and abetting.

Aiding and abetting can happen at any point, being before, during, or after the crime itself. An ‘accessory before the fact’ is someone who knows there is intent to commit a crime and then provides assistance. An ‘accessory after the fact’ is someone who provides assistance after a crime has been committed. Often, a person can be both.

Oh, you libruls and your so-called laws! Go on with you. We don't do it that way in the United States anymore. There is one law, the immutable word of Donald J. Trump, and your fake United States Code and alleged Constitution are no match for the iron whim of Trump.
