45-2-302. When accountability exists. A person is legally accountable for the conduct of another when:
     (1) having a mental state described by the statute defining the offense, he causes another to perform the conduct, regardless of the legal capacity or mental state of the other person;
     (2) the statute defining the offense makes him so accountable; or
     (3) either before or during the commission of an offense with the purpose to promote or facilitate such commission, he solicits, aids, abets, agrees, or attempts to aid such other person in the planning or commission of the offense. However, a person is not so accountable if:
