(a) Identify the governing doctrine on the share of civil liability among co-offenders for a felony.
(b) Two persons, R and T, jointly commit robbery with intimidation at a neighborhood store; R is the mastermind who brandishes a replica firearm and directs the act (principal participation), while T acts as lookout outside (lesser participation). They are convicted of robbery with violence or intimidation. The offended party seeks civil damages amounting to 180,000 arising from the felony. Apply the doctrine to determine how the 180,000 should be apportioned between R and T.
(c) May the offended party recover the full 180,000 from either R or T, and if one pays the full amount, what remedy exists against the other co-offender?
