Matt Gaetz, is it possible since you know the characters of the crime and the details that you too are part of it? If I was on Jury I’d say YES.
An accessory to a crime is someone who helped commit the offence without actually taking part in it. It is similar to the crime of “aiding and abetting,” though you can be an accessory even if you were not present at the scene of the crime. Many states differentiate between helping someone after they committed the crime and helping them before committing it.
A person may be guilty of a crime in two ways. One, he or she may have directly committed the crime… Two, he or she may have aided and abetted a perpetrator, who directly committed the crime. A person is guilty of a crime whether he or she committed it personally or aided and abetted the perpetrator.”[1]
