  • A.Principal in the first degree
  • B.Principal in the second degree
  • C.Accessory before the fact
  • D.Accessory after the fact

Answer: B

Such a person is a principal in the second degree.

At common law the principal in the first degree is the one who actually commits the crime. A principal in the second degree is present, actually or constructively, at the commission and aids or abets it, for example by keeping watch.

An accessory before the fact counsels or procures the crime but is absent when it is committed, and an accessory after the fact helps the offender escape after the crime.
