The real issue is whether a district attorney (prosecutor) will present the complaint to a grand jury to see if they will hand down an indictment.  The courts will come into play if they are indicted.  And again, whether they are convicted is a matter for the jury (or trial judge if they waive the right to a jury trial).  So the initial play is whether a DA will ask for an indictment.

But the argument made above makes no sense in legal terms.....otherwise people would get away with all sorts of crimes by using a cutout.  It doesn't work that way in the real world.
