Heading: Accessory to attempted robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery.

Text: (36) We may briefly dispose of Defendant's claim that his convictions for accessory to attempted robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery violate double jeopardy. The crimes of conspiracy and accessory to a crime are separate offenses based on separate acts for which the Legislature has intended multiple punishments. See State v. Armijo, 90 N.M. 12, 15, 558 P.2d 1151, 1154 (Ct.App.1976) (holding that aiding and abetting and conspiracy are distinct and separate crimes). Thus, it is proper for the State to re-try Defendant on both conspiracy to commit robbery and accessory to attempted robbery. See generally Model Penal Code § 2.06 cmt. 6(a) (discussing conspiracy and noting that under the Model Penal Code, conspiracy is not a basis of complicity in substantive offenses committed in furtherance of its aims) (Official Draft and Revised Comments 1962).
