Is there any conflict of interest between the Attorney General and the Defendant?

The Attorney General claims that any conflict of interest between Littleton and the co-defendants was speculative. We disagree. Littleton throughout the trial was in an entirely different position than his two co-defendants. He could only be held liable as a principal on the theory that he aided and abetted the burglary. While he undoubtedly aided his co-defendants, there was certainly a substantial question of fact whether he abetted, a term which includes knowledge of the wrongful purpose of his co-defendants.
