The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

“the principal committed the [underlying] offense.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“[A]n “accomplice” is a person who knowingly, voluntarily, and with common intent with the principal offender unites with him in the commission of the crime charged, either as a principal, as an aider or abettor, or as an accessory before the fact. The generally accepted test as to whether a witness is an “accomplice” is whether he himself could have been convicted for the offense charged, either as a principal, or as an aider and abettor, or as an accessory before the fact, and if so, such a witness is an accomplice within the rules relating to accomplice testimony.”
