MUJI 2d CR403B
Party Liability - Definition.
A person can commit a crime as a "party to the offense." In other words, a person can commit a criminal offense even though he or she did not personally do all of the acts that make up the offense. Before a person may be found guilty as a "party to the offense," you must find beyond a reasonable doubt that:
The person had the mental state required to commit the charged offense;
AND
The person:
directly committed the charged offense; or
intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly solicited, requested, commanded or encouraged another person to commit the charged offense; or
intentionally aided another person to commit the charged offense;
AND
The charged offense was committed either by that person or another person.
