[Ord. No. 4531, 4-1-2019]
A.
A person
is criminally responsible for the conduct of another when:
1.
The Statute defining the offense makes him/her so responsible; or
2.
Either before or during the commission of an offense with the purpose
of promoting the commission of an offense, he/she aids or agrees to
aid or attempts to aid such other person in planning, committing or
attempting to commit the offense.
B.
However,
a person is not so responsible if:
1.
He/she is the victim of the offense committed or attempted;
2.
The offense is so defined that his/her conduct was necessarily incident
to the commission or attempt to commit the offense. If his/her conduct
constitutes a related but separate offense, he/she is criminally responsible
for that offense but not for the conduct or offense committed or attempted
by the other person; or
3.
Before the commission of the offense he/she abandons his/her purpose
and gives timely warning to law enforcement authorities or otherwise
makes proper effort to prevent the commission of the offense.
