New York Laws
Article 20 - Parties to Offenses and Liability Through Accessorial Conduct
20.15 - Convictions for Different Degrees of Offense.


Except as otherwise expressly provided in this chapter, when, pursuant
to section 20.00, two or more persons are criminally liable for an
offense which is divided into degrees, each person is guilty of such
degree as is compatible with his own culpable mental state and with his
own accountability for an aggravating fact or circumstance.
