Explanation:

1. While the terms "accesory before the fact" and "accesory after the fact" describe individuals who help commit a crime before or after they have been committed, the term "principal in the second degree" is used to describe an individual who is present when another criminal is committing a crime, without being directly the perpetrator of the crime, which is called "principal in the first degree".

2. In a preliminary hearing it is determined whether there is sufficient evidence to initiate a trial against an defendant.

At this stage the defendant's attorney presents all the evidence that contradicts the evidence presented by the prosecutor, if the evidence presented by the defender is more convincing, it can be defined that there is a probable cause and the defendant cannot be sentenced.

3. Mens Rea is a Latin term that means "guilty mind", refers to the intent of the criminal to commit the crime.

This is useful when determining whether the crime was committed with intent or without premeditation and depending on what is found, the respective sentence is handed down.
