New York Laws
Article 20 - Parties to Offenses and Liability Through Accessorial Conduct
20.10 - Criminal Liability for Conduct of Another; Exemption.


Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 20.00 and 20.05, a person
is not criminally liable for conduct of another person constituting an
offense when his own conduct, though causing or aiding the commission of
such offense, is of a kind that is necessarily incidental thereto. If
such conduct constitutes a related but separate offense upon the part of
the actor, he is liable for that offense only and not for the conduct or
offense committed by the other person.
