What is Jordan’s involvement in this situation? A - HSC - SSCE Legal Studies - Question 5 - 2020 - Paper 1

To determine Jordan's involvement, we need to analyze each option:

1. He is the principal offender. This means he would have been the main person committing the crime, which may not apply based on the context.

2. He has not committed a crime. This suggests that there is no action taken by Jordan that constitutes a criminal act.

3. He is an accessory after the fact. This implies he assisted someone after a crime was committed.

4. He has committed a preliminary crime. This indicates that his actions were part of the preparations or attempts to commit a crime.

Given the marking scheme highlights option D as correct, it suggests that Jordan has likely engaged in behaviors that constitute a preliminary crime rather than being directly involved as the principal offender or as an accessory after the fact.
