A/an _______________ is a person who is liable to prosecution for the identical offense charges against a defendant on trial.

Accomplice

An accomplice is a person who is liable to prosecution for the identical offense charged against a defendant on trial. This means that an accomplice is someone who is directly involved in a crime or helps someone carry out a crime and may face charges for the same crime as the defendant.

Option B, a witness, is not always liable to prosecution and is typically called upon to provide testimony or evidence in a trial.

Option C, a victim, may have been harmed by a crime but is not liable to prosecution for the same offense.

Option D, a defender, is typically used to refer to a lawyer or someone who is defending the defendant in a trial, not someone who may also face prosecution for the same crime.
