Liability for conduct of another generally

Most recently applied in 2026 Ark. App. 69 - Jasmine Leigh Chambers v. State of Arkansas (February 2026)
Acts 1975, No. 280, § 302; A.S.A. 1947, § 41-302.
Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.
A person is criminally liable for the conduct of another person if:
(1) The person is made criminally liable for the conduct of another person by the statute defining the offense;
(2) The person is an accomplice of another person in the commission of an offense; or
(3) Acting with a culpable mental state sufficient for the commission of the offense, the person causes another person to engage in conduct that would constitute an offense but for a defense available to the other person.
