Student who lent weapons ruled an accessory
A university student surnamed Guo was recently sentenced to eight months in prison after he lent a knife and a dagger to two fellow villagers who used them to rob someone in Zhengzhou, capital of Henan province.
Zhengzhou Intermediate People's Court said Guo, a sophomore student, was an accessory because he lent the weapons in the knowledge they would be used in a crime, even though he refused to participate in the act itself.
