Los Angeles Criminal Defense Lawyer representing those who have been charged with Aiding and Abetting in Santa Monica, Marina Del Rey, El Segundo, Manhattan Beach & Hermosa Beach

Aiding and abetting is a criminal offense that people can be charged with if they help plan a crime or serve as an accomplice during the commission of a crime.  Even though people who are charged with aiding and abetting do not carry out actual criminal offenses, they are committing an unlawful act simply by assisting or creating plans with the criminal offender.

For example, let’s say that two people get together to plan a bank robbery.  The person that committed the actual robbery could be charged with robbing the bank and the person who served as an accomplice could be charged with aiding and abetting.  It does not matter if accomplice is present when the crime is committed, he/she can still be charged with aiding and abetting.
