State v. Anthony
New Hampshire Supreme Court
861 A.2d 773 (2004)

A person who helps another person commit a crime may be criminally liable as an accomplice.

In State versus Anthony, the court considered whether a defendant could be convicted as an accomplice to a negligence crime.

Virginia Anthony allegedly helped her husband bind a cult's four legs together. The cult's efforts to free itself caused it pain and injury. Anthony was indicted on a felony charge of cruelty to animals.

At Anthony's trial, the trial court instructed the jury on the lesser included offense of accomplice to negligent cruelty to animals. The jury acquitted Anthony of the felony charge, but found her guilty of the lesser included offense.

Anthony appealed to the New Hampshire Supreme Court, arguing that New Hampshire law didn't recognize the crime of accomplice to negligent cruelty to animals.
