He does fit the bill for an accomplice perfectly.
In any case, if you read his wiki you'll find that he has consistently denied knowing that they were going to rob someone; he was hungover and thought it was a joke.
It's ridiculous that the simple act of lending a car can end with you in jail for life. The argument used by the prosecutor ("No car, no crime.") is just a bad application of logic. Who's to say they wouldn't have gotten a car from somewhere else?

If I lent my car to my friend and he drove to someone's house and killed a girl, I am 100% innocent of any crime.
