I have been accused of being an accessory to a robbery because I was driving the car the suspect was in. I had no idea my friend robbed anyone. Can I be held liable for his actions?

You can certainty be charged with an accessory to a crime, in this case being an accessory to a robbery. In order to be found guilty of being an accessory to a crime, the prosecution must show that you actually knew about the crime, that someone committed the crime, and that you did something to further the crime (meaning that you helped the crime happen). In your situation, you will need to prove that you had no actual knowledge of your friend committing a robbery, or planning to commit one. You should speak with an experienced criminal defense lawyer immediately to ensure your rights are protected. Please call us at 888-749-0034 or visit us at www.wklaw.com
