Just a thought...
I would rather wait until:
a. There are a few successful prosecutions based upon the “Joint liability “ principle outlined above.
b. See an example of how it might be framed in UK law.
The phrase “
ought to have known “ would give me cause for concern and thus lead to yet another law on the statute book that is never applied.
