HRS §702-221
When you can be blamed for someone else's actions
Read the official text at capitol.hawaii.gov ↗You can be guilty of a crime if you do it yourself, or if someone else does it and you are legally responsible for their actions. This happens when you make an innocent or irresponsible person do it, when the law says you are responsible, or when you are an accomplice.
