Talk to Us Now

Aiding and Abetting is defined as helping another person commit a crime. There are three ways a person can be charged with aiding and abetting. They are

  1. 1) know the perpetrators illegal plan
  2. 2) intentionally encourage the plan
  3. 3) And merely just aid the crime.

The court charges the person with actual crime that has taken place. Knowledge of the crime itself is not enough standing alone to be charged with aiding and abetting. There are five defenses to aiding and abetting.

Defenses

The five defenses are 1) The person did not aid the crime during the time it was being committed 2) False accusation (As in someone putting the blame on you) 3) You opted out from the criminal activity 4) You had no responsibility to act 5) Finally, you only helped the crime after it has been done.

Penalties

The penalties for aiding and abetting a crime are 1) Convicted of murder 2) Natural and probable cause (each aider and abettor is responsible for the crimes committed by any person during the crime and the crime must be probable or related of the crime committed).

Why Do You Need an Aiding and Abetting Attorney?

If you’re facing charges of aiding and abetting in San Diego, it’s crucial to seek legal representation from an experienced attorney like Bradley Corbett. Aiding and abetting involves assisting someone else in committing a crime, and the law holds individuals accountable under specific conditions: knowing the illegal plan, intentionally encouraging it, or directly aiding in the crime.

At the Law Offices of Bradley Corbett, we understand the gravity of these charges and the nuances of the legal definitions that encompass aiding and abetting. This understanding allows us to effectively defend our clients against such serious allegations. The court may charge you with the actual crime committed, which means that the penalties can be as severe as those faced by the principal offender. This underscores the importance of having a knowledgeable aiding and abetting attorney by your side.

Our approach to defending clients accused of aiding and abetting focuses on a detailed examination of the circumstances surrounding the case. We explore all possible defenses, which include proving that you did not participate in the crime as it occurred, were falsely accused, withdrew from the criminal plan, had no duty to intervene, or only became involved after the crime had already been committed.

Why Choose Us?

The penalties for aiding and abetting can be severe, aligning with those of the main offense, including charges as serious as murder. Each aider and abettor can be held responsible for crimes committed by any person during the criminal act if those crimes were probable outcomes of the original criminal intent.
