How to use "Accomplice" in context?
In law, an accomplice is a person who assists someone else in committing a criminal act, without intending to themselves commit that crime. If a person commits a crime with the help of another, they are said to have "committed the principal offense with the help of an accomplice."
Accomplices can be either innocent or guilty. Innocent accomplices, who do not intend to commit a crime but help out anyway, rarely face criminal charges. Guilty accomplices, on the other hand, may be punished for their role in the crime. Some accomplices may also be given a suspended sentence, or probation.
