CRIME: Provides relative to parties to a crime (OR SEE FISC NOTE GF EX)

Summary

The bill defines a new category of criminal participant called an “accessory before the fact,” sets specific penalties for that role, and allows defendants convicted as principals to seek a reduced sentence if they can prove they were actually accessories. It applies to anyone charged with a crime in Louisiana and changes how courts handle sentencing and appeals for those cases.
