Those consenting and those perpetrating are embraced in the same punishment.

Explanation

One who consents to a crime is equally liable with the one who carries it out — the law draws no distinction between the approver and the doer.

Where this applies

• My friend drove the getaway car while I robbed the store — we're both equally liable.
• A person who gives permission for a crime to happen is punished the same as the person who does it.
