DY, usually a ???? is ???? because of “???? ???? ???? ??????”. However, where the ???? is known to be willing to commit the crime or does not think that it is prohibited the ???? is ???? (Rema Choshen Mishpat 388:15). In any case, the inciter is certainly morally responsible and may even be executed by the secular authorities (Rambam, Hilchot Rotzeach 2,2-4). However, this obviously has nothing to do with some third person’s actions. For example, if a person testifies against a criminal and then a contract is put on him neither he nor the prosecutor is responsible.
