Title 11. Criminal Law

Chapter 16. Parties to Crime

Section 120. Exemptions to Legal Accountability For Conduct of Another.

AS 11.16.120. Exemptions to Legal Accountability For Conduct of Another.

(a) In a prosecution for an offense in which legal accountability is based on the conduct of another person,

(1) it is an affirmative defense that the defendant, under circumstances manifesting a voluntary and complete renunciation of criminal intent,

(A) terminated the defendant's complicity before the commission of the offense;

(B) wholly deprived the defendant's complicity of its effectiveness in the commission of the offense; and

(C) gave timely warning to law enforcement authorities or, if timely warning could not be given to law enforcement authorities by reasonable efforts, otherwise made a reasonable effort to prevent the commission of the offense;

(2) it is not a defense that

(A) the other person has not been prosecuted for or convicted of an offense based upon the conduct in question or has been convicted of a different offense or degree of offense;

(B) the offense, as defined, can be committed only by a particular class of persons to which the defendant does not belong, and the defendant is for that reason legally incapable of committing the offense in an individual capacity; or

(C) the other person is not guilty of the offense.

(b) Except as otherwise provided by a provision of law defining an offense, a person is not legally accountable for the conduct of another constituting an offense if

(1) the person is the victim of the offense; or

(2) the offense is so defined that the person's conduct is inevitably incidental to its commission.
