Practice question
A father, with no prior or simultaneous participation, performs only Article19(2) accessory concealment to prevent discovery of his son’s felony.

- Yes, every serious principal offense repeals Article20
- No; the stipulated qualifying accessory conduct falls within Article20
- Yes, every accessory is automatically a principal
- Yes, only the son can ever be exempt
- Yes, concealment necessarily means profiting
