Citator
N.Y. Penal Law § 20.10 — Criminal liability for conduct of another; exemption is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.
§ 20.10 Criminal liability for conduct of another; exemption.
Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 20.00 and 20.05, a person is not criminally liable for conduct of another person constituting an offense when his own conduct, though causing or aiding the commission of such offense, is of a kind that is necessarily incidental thereto. If such conduct constitutes a related but separate offense upon the part of the actor, he is liable for that offense only and not for the conduct or offense committed by the other person.
