Typically, when the word accomplice is used in a legal way, it refers to someone who has helped in the commission of a crime. The word accomplice usually denotes someone who has been present when the crime was being committed. This means that if the term accomplice to murder is used, it is believed that the person who assisted in the crime of murder was present during the murder.

They may be nothing more than a lookout, or someone who is driving the vehicle which removes the primary actor from the scene of the crime. They are still guilty of being an accomplice to the offense. It is possible to be an accomplice to an offense even if you are not aware that a crime is taking place. Accessory to murder charges are very serious and should be taken seriously by all parties who are involved. The requirements to prove that you were present are all that really exist on the part of the state, and often this is not a difficult task. Penalties for accomplice to murder may be quite severe.

These laws exist in several states, while in other areas, an accomplice may not be sentenced to death, but may and often does receive life imprisonment.
