AIDING AND ABETTING Here are five things to know about aiding and abetting in Nevada: 1) Nevada’s legal definition of aiding and abetting is helping, counseling, or encouraging another person – called the principal – to commit a crime. People who aid or abet principals in criminal activity are called accomplices. 2) Common examples of aiding and abetting are acting as a lookout or as a getaway driver. 3) In most cases, aiding and abetting carries the same punishment as the underlying crime. For example, someone who aided and abetted a robbery would receive the standard robbery sentence of two to 15 years in prison. 4) People who initially plan to aid and abet a crime may be able to escape accomplice liability as long as they notify the principals that they are no longer participating and do everything possible to prevent the crime from happening – such as tipping off the police. 5) Being an accomplice is different from being a conspirator. A conspiracy is when two or more people agree to participate in a crime together, and they can be convicted of conspiracy even if they fail in carrying out their planned crime. In contrast, a person may be convicted of aiding and abetting without having made a prior agreement with anyone else. LAS VEGAS DEFENSE GROUP, L.L.C.
