Multistate Bar Examination Practice Question

A man knows his roommate is a skilled cat burglar who plans to burglarize a specific house that night. The roommate mentions that he needs a ride to the neighborhood. The man, wanting to get his roommate out of the house so he can host a party, gives him a ride and drops him off a block away from the targeted house. The roommate subsequently commits the burglary.

Under the majority rule and the Model Penal Code, is the man liable as an accomplice to the burglary?

  • No, because he was not present at the scene of the burglary when it was committed.

  • Yes, because providing the means for the principal to get to the crime scene constitutes substantial encouragement.

  • No, because his primary motivation was to host a party, not to assist in the burglary.

  • Yes, because he knowingly provided assistance that contributed to the commission of the crime.
