(1) The other belongs to a class of persons who by definition of the offense is legally incapable of committing the offense in an individual capacity; or

(2) The person for whose conduct the defendant is criminally responsible has been acquitted, has not been prosecuted or convicted, has been convicted of a different offense or different type or class of offense, or is immune from prosecution.
