Accomplices and co-conspirators are often confused but are two completely different crimes. Explain the difference and provide an example

What will be an ideal response?


Accomplice liability is very serious business and results in prosecution for the crime itself; for example, accomplices to murder are prosecuted as murderers. Accomplices are often confused with co-conspirators, but they're two completely different crimes. Conspiracy is an agreement to commit a crime; for example, conspiracy to commit murder is not murder but a lesser offense of agreeing to murder.
