How does it differ from the model penal code approach: the foreseeable consequence doctrine came out of the luparello case. This doctrine requires that the accomplice aid or encourage the principal to commit a crime, and the principal ends up committing another crime, but it was a foreseeable consequence.

In the mpc, the difference between the mens rea required for attempt versus complicity in an offense is that attempted crimes require specific intent and clearly would have mens rea for the crime. Mens rea required for complicity in an offense do not need to apply the but-for causation between d"s actions and the action f another to establish the liability of being an accomplice. Attempt requires specific intent, whereas complicity only requires foreseeability.
