Able wаs а butler fоr а very rich family. One day оver lunch, he and Ben were discussing hоw they might make a big payday. Able went on a tirade about the unfair opulence of his boss. Ben responded with the suggestion that the two of them could better redistribute the wealth by helping themselves to some of that affluence. Able then described how the family was always in bed promptly at 11 pm every night, that his boss kept a written copy of the combination to the safe in the top drawer of his desk in the study, and that he often kept cash in the safe. The next day at 1 AM, Ben showed up at the mansion where Able served as the butler. As planned, Able had waited for him and quietly opened the back door to allow Ben into the servant’s quarters. Able then handed Ben a key to the study. Ben then walked down a long hall and entered the study by using a key to open a door. Just as Able had described it, the safe combination was written on a slip of paper and Ben opened the safe. He then removed a jewelry box and discovered an expensive looking diamond bracelet. He put it on his wrist and left the study. However, to his surprise, Ben encountered a woman walking out of a bathroom who happened to be the maid. He then put his hand over her mouth, removed a gun from his pocket, and pointed the gun in the direction of the back door. She complied by walking out of the house with Ben before he forced her into his car. He then noticed that, apparently when he had grabbed the gun from his pocket while inside the house, the bracelet had slipped off his wrist. Angry and confused, Ben drove off with the maid. With the help of the house’s security cameras, both Able and Ben were arrested the next day and the maid was found unharmed nearby. Assume that this is a common law jurisdiction. Discuss all legal issues relating to: The role played by Able in the caper; The criminal responsibility of Ben for the execution of the plan to obtain the contents of the safe; The circumstances relating to the maid.
