    2.    A person is guilty of a crime when he is an accomplice of another person in the commission of the crime.

    3.    A person is an accomplice of another person in the commission of a crime if, with the intent of promoting or facilitating the commission of the crime, he solicits such other person to commit it, or aids or agrees or attempts to aid such other person in planning or committing it, or having a legal duty to prevent the commission of the crime, fails to make proper effort so to do; or his conduct is expressly declared by law to establish his complicity.

    4.    When causing a particular result is an element of a crime, an accomplice in the conduct causing such result is an accomplice in the commission of that crime if he acts with the kind of liability with respect to that result that is sufficient for the commission of the crime.

    5.    A person is not an accomplice in a crime committed by another person if:

            b.     the crime is so defined that his conduct is inevitably incident to its commission; or
            c.    he terminates his complicity prior to the commission of the crime and wholly deprives it of effectiveness in the commission of the crime or gives timely warning to police or otherwise makes proper effort to prevent the commission of the crime.

    6.    An accomplice may be convicted on proof of the commission of the crime and of his complicity therein, though the person claimed to have committed the crime has not been prosecuted or convicted or has been convicted of a different crime or degree of crime or has an immunity to prosecution or conviction or has been acquitted.
