C.R.S. Title 18 § 18-1-604: Exemptions from liability based upon behavior of another
What this law says, in plain English
This statute defines when a person is not criminally liable for another's offense—specifically when the person is a victim or their conduct is necessarily incidental to the crime. It also establishes an affirmative defense for certain offenses if the defendant withdrew effort and warned law enforcement or the intended victim.
