§ 6-2-18 WHEN ACCOUNTABILITY EXISTS.
   A person is legally accountable for the conduct of another when:

   (B)   The statute defining the offense makes him or her so accountable; or
   (C)   Either before or during the commission of an offense with the purpose to promote or facilities such commission, he or she solicits, aids, abets, agrees or attempts to aid such other person in the planning or commission of the offense. However, a person is not so accountable if:
      (1)   He or she is a victim of the offense committed, unless the statute defining the offense provides otherwise; or
      (2)   Before the commission of the offense, he or she terminates his or her effort to promote or facilities such commission and does one of the following:
         (a)   Wholly deprives his or her prior efforts to effectiveness in such commission;
         (b)   Gives timely warning to the proper law enforcement authorities; or
