Art and Part is a legal term used to describe a person’s involvement or participation in a criminal act. It refers to someone who is either directly involved in the commission of a crime or who aids, abets, or assists in its execution. This term is often used in the context of conspiracy charges, where individuals are accused of being art and part of a criminal conspiracy. Being art and part of a crime implies a level of active participation or collaboration in the unlawful activity, rather than mere knowledge or passive association.
