Heading: conspirator liability

Text: Appellant Lightford challenges his indictment on the ground that in charging him with the bribery counts, the state merely alleged his participation in a conspiracy with Miller. [2] NRS 173.075(2) permits incorporation of the allegations of one count in another count of an indictment. It is settled in this state that evidence of participation in a conspiracy may, in itself, be sufficient evidence of aiding and abetting an act in furtherance of the conspiracy to subject the participant to criminal liability as a principal pursuant to NRS 195.020. See McKinney v. Sheriff, 93 Nev. 70, 560 P.2d 151 (1977); State v. Beck, 42 Nev. 209, 174 P. 714 (1918). We therefore reject this contention.
