Full text of Guam Guam Code Annotated § 4 — requires a purpose to commit an offense, the mere supplier or aider would not, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 4. requires a purpose to commit an offense, the mere supplier or aider would not
be guilty of violating that Section. Section 4.65 covers that conduct, but imposes a
lesser penalty than § 4.60.
The requirement that the assistance be Asubstantial@ is intended to leave up to the jury
questions such as whether the one who has committed the offense i.e., the illicit moon-
shine operation, could have readily obtained the materials elsewhere. If so, the jury
could reasonably conclude that the facilitator's assistance is not substantial, but was
rather a common act in which any person could engage without criminal intent.
