During a planned bank robbery, Emma creates the detailed plan, Liam provides the weapons, and Noah drives the getaway vehicle without knowing the robbery was taking place. After the robbery, Emma and Liam are arrested. Which individuals can be legally charged as parties to the crime?
Emma and Liam can be charged as parties to the crime because Emma was the planner and Liam supplied the weapons, making them principals. Noah, who was unaware of the robbery plan, did not participate knowingly and therefore cannot be charged as a party.
