Art 77: Principal
Perpetrator is the crime committer
Art 78: Accessory After the Fact
Failure to report the offense does not count. Have to show that the principle DID commit the crime, but guilt in trial is not a requirement. Different levels of punishment but basically can get the max punishment for the crime committed (principal offense). No death penalty, 1/2 of the confinement for that offense not to exceed 10 yrs.
Art 80: Attempts
Attempted to perform the act but failed. Can be convicted even if offense was completed (lesser included). Must arise to more than mere preparation.
Art 81: Conspiracy
Even if you are physically unable to commit the primary act you can be held under this charge. Doesn't have to be in writing, just a common understanding must exist. Overt act doesn't itself have to be criminal and the act must be intended to effect the commision of the intended offense. Max: same as the offense committed. No death, no min punishments provisions, no confinement in excess of 20 years (unless attempted murder then ok for 21 or more years confinement).
Death Penalty
Must be authorized in UCMJ. Written notice must be given to DC before arraignment. Unanimous sentencing. Substantial factors outweigh the mitigating factors (ie. bad childhood).
