1. Most jurisdictions have abandoned the common law categories of parties to a crime. 2. Betty is the mother of 17-year-old Zach. Last month, Betty obliged Zach’s request to have a keg of beer at his birthday party, primarily attended by other teens. Betty made sure to check each attendee before leaving for signs of intoxication. Everyone arrived home safely. Because Betty was diligent in ensuring that no one appeared to be under the influence, in most states she would not be guilty of violating a social host liability law. 3. A conviction for accomplice liability requires that a defendant both assist and intend to assist the commission of a crime. 4. Under the common law, both principals and accessories were punishable as felons. 5. One night, Lindsey and her friend Laura robbed a local fast-food restaurant. The two split the money equally and took their shares home. When Lindsey arrived at home, she told her husband, Ryan, about what they had done. To reduce the likelihood of suspicion, Ryan helped Lindsey hide her share of the money by placing deposits in a few different bank accounts. In a majority of states, Ryan is immune from prosecution for helping Lindsey hide the money.
