Yes, he can be charged as an accomplice and would be equally as liable for the robbery and could be punished just as if he had gone inside.

Yes. The "getaway" driver or "lookout" can be charged and is equally responsible under the law as the defendant who enters the dwelling. By any chance, is this the case where the defendant who entered the dwelling left a water bottle in the dwelling with your fiance's DNA on it? Just curious because I spoke with a fiance about a case like this. Feel free to call with any questions. 1-877-377-8666 or visit our website at tilemandcampbell.com or www . 888AnyCrime.com.
