                              CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
                                  CHAPTER 14
                                  INDICTMENT
    19-1430.  DISTINCTION BETWEEN ACCESSORIES AND PRINCIPALS ABOLISHED. The
distinction between an accessory before the fact and a principal and between
principals in the first and second degree, in cases of felony, is abrogated;
and all persons concerned in the commission of a felony, whether they directly
commit the act constituting the offense, or aid and abet in its commission,
though not present, shall hereafter be prosecuted, tried, and punished as
principals, and no other facts need be alleged in any indictment against such
an accessory than are required in an indictment against his principal.
