It depends on what state you are in. In some states simple concealment is considered shoplifting. In other states, if you pass the last point of purchase (usually means walking out the door passing up all registers) with unpaid for merchandise you have shoplifted.
Under the law an accomplice is as guilty as the person who commits the crime. They also don't have to know that it is happening. When they do find out they have to turn the person in for the crime or they are guilty as well because at that point they DO have knowledge that a crime has been committed. Ignorance is not a defense .
Hopefully the consequences are enough that you learned your lesson and won't commit crime anymore.

To constitute a crime there must be only 2 elements. A criminal ACT, and a criminal INTENT. Once those two elements are met, a crime is consituted.
I believe that you are asking about the ELEMENTS of the crime.
INTENT is not necessary to solve a crime.... intent is necessary to prove a crime. A crime consists of TWO elements and two elements only: A criminal act accompanied by a criminal intent. If you have those two elements together - you have a crime.
the three elements of a crime should be present ( motive, knowledge, and opportunity ) for the conviction of a person committed a crime.
The elements of a crime are the same EVERYWHERE. There are only two elemnts of a crime: (1) a criminal act (2) done with a criminal intent.
No.
