In New York Criminal Facilitation has 3 elements:
1. The facilitator knowingly aided in the commission of a crime but his culpability did not reach accomplice level
2. The facilitator need only believe that it was PROBABLE that he was rendering aid
3. The conduct alleged must have aided in the commission of the object felony and
4. The facilitator may not be convicted on uncorroborated testimony of the person facilitated
An affirmative defense exists for the facilitator who takes steps to prevent the felony
