Definition of abet

Definition: Abet refers to helping someone commit a crime. This can include planning the crime, helping the person escape after the crime, or being present during the crime. If someone abets a crime, they can be charged and punished just like the person who actually committed the crime.

For example, if someone helps plan a bank robbery or drives the getaway car, they are abetting the crime. Even if they didn't physically rob the bank, they can still be charged with the same crime as the person who did.

Abetting is sometimes called "aiding and abetting" in legal language. There are different types of abetting, such as being an accessory before the fact (helping plan the crime) or a principal in the second degree (being present during the crime).

It's every lawyer's dream to help shape the law, not just react to it.
