Example sentence(s):
  • USA: Principals in the first degree, are those who have actually *with their own hands* committed the fact, or have committed it through an innocent agent incapable himself,
  • In Criminal Law, the principal is the chief actor or perpetrator of a crime; those who aid, abet, counsel, command, or induce the commission of a crime may also be principals.
