(2) The person facilitated has not been prosecuted for or convicted of the crime facilitated, or has been convicted of a different crime, or has an immunity to prosecution or conviction for such conduct; or
(3) The crime facilitated can be committed only by a particular class or classes of persons, and the accused, not belonging to such class or classes, is for that reason legally incapable of committing the crime in an individual capacity.
