1. “[a] defendant may be convicted for a crime committed by another if the State proves the defendant acted “in concert” with the other to commit the crime. ... In addition to the proof requirements associated with acting in concert, if the crime is a specific intent crime, such as robbery with a dangerous weapon, the defendant, like the actual perpetrator, must be shown to have the requisite specific intent. “The specific intent may be proved by evidence tending to show that the specific intent crime was a part of the common plan.””
