(1) 
Conduct is the cause of a result if:
(a) 
Without the conduct the result would not have occurred; and
(b) 
Any additional causal requirements imposed by the specific code provision are satisfied.
(2) 
If knowingly or purposely causing a result is an element of an offense and the result is not within the contemplation or purpose of the offender, either element can nevertheless be established if:
(a) 
The final result differs from the contemplated result only in the respect that a different person or different property is affected or that the injury or harm caused is less than originally contemplated; or
(b) 
The result involves the same kind of harm or injury as contemplated but the precise harm or injury is different or occurred in a different way, unless the actual result is too remote or accidental to have a bearing on the offender’s liability or on the gravity of the offense.
(3) 
If negligently causing a particular result is an element of an offense and the offender is not aware or should not have been aware of the probable result, negligence can nevertheless be established if:
(a) 
The actual result differs from the probable result only in the respect that a different person or different property is affected or that the actual injury or harm is less; or
(b) 
The actual result involves the same kind of injury or harm as the probable result, unless the actual result is too remote or accidental to have a bearing on the offender’s liability or the gravity of the offense.
(Ord. 49 § 6.2.1, 1-8-2010 (Res. 2010-10))
An element of every offense is a voluntary act, which includes an omission to perform a duty which the person is mentally, physically and financially capable of performing.
(Ord. 49 § 6.2.2, 1-8-2010 (Res. 2010-10))
A person who is in an intoxicated or drugged condition is criminally responsible for her or his conduct unless such conduct is involuntarily produced and deprives the person of the capacity to appreciate the criminality of the conduct or to conform her or his conduct to the requirements of the law.
(Ord. 49 § 6.2.3, 1-8-2010 (Res. 2010-10))
(1) 
A person is legally accountable for the conduct of another when:
(a) 
Having a mental state described by the code provision defining the offense, the person causes another to perform the conduct, regardless of the legal capacity or mental state of the other person;
(b) 
The code provision defining the offense makes the person accountable;
(c) 
Either before or during the commission of an offense with the purpose to promote or facilitate such commission, the person solicits, aids, abets, agrees, or attempts to aid such other person in the planning or commission of the offense.
(2) 
However, a person is not accountable if:
(a) 
The person is a victim of the offense committed; or
(b) 
Before the commission of the crime the person terminates her or his efforts to promote or facilitate the commission of the crime and takes steps to negate the effect or otherwise prevent the commission of the offense.
(3) 
A person may not be found guilty of an offense on the testimony of one responsible or legally accountable for the same offense unless that testimony is corroborated by other evidence that, in itself and without the aid of the testimony of the one responsible or legally accountable for the same offense, tends to connect the defendant with the commission of the offense.
(Ord. 49 § 6.2.4, 1-8-2010 (Res. 2010-10))
