ACCOMPLICE
(bouvier) | ACCOMPLICE, crim. law. This term includes in its meaning, all persons who
have been concerned in the commission of a crime, all particepes crimitis,
whether they are considered in strict legal propriety, as principals in the
first or second degree, or merely as accessaries before or after the fact.
Foster, 341; 1 Russell, 21; 4 Bl. Com. 331; 1 Phil. Ev. 28; Merlin,
Repertoire, mot Complice. U. S. Dig. h.t.
2. But in another sense, by the word accomplice is meant, one who not
being a principal, is yet in some way concerned in the commission of a
crime. It has been questioned, whether one who was an accomplice to a
suicide can be punished as such. A case occurred in Prussia where a
soldier, at the request of his comrade, had cut the latter in pieces; for
this he was tried capitally. In the year 1817, a young woman named Leruth
received a recompense for aiding a man to kill himself. He put the point of
a bistouri on his naked breast, and used the hand of the young woman to
plunge it with greater force into his bosom; hearing some noise he ordered
her away. The man receiving effectual aid was soon cured of the wound which
had been inflicted; and she was tried and convicted of having inflicted the
wound, and punished by ten years' imprisonment. Lepage, Science du Droit,
ch. 2 art. 3, Sec. 5. The case of Saul, the king of Israel, and his armor
bearer, (1 Sam. xxxi. 4,) and of David and the Amelekite, (2 Sam. i. 2-16,)
will doubtless occur to the reader.
