For example, there are many cases where girlfriends/wives help their men beat/torture/rape/kill others, do you think they should be held just as accountable for their actions just as much as men? Such as say Mussolini's mistress Clara Petacci who was killed and hung just as he was, or the Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu wife who both ended up getting executed, or Bonnie and Clyde. Or today the wives of Kim Jong-un, Xi Jinping, Asma al-Assad etc. Say every one of these men along with their wives were executed, do they not deserve the same fate? Especially how all of them know full well how evil their men are? Or do you think they should be exempt because they're women?
I think there are laws in place for this very scenario. So yes its a capital offense Aiding and abetting is a crime in itself, held against those who would somehow assist a criminal – short of physically contributing to the illegal act. In many jurisdictions, aiding and abetting is the same as an “accessory” to the crime.
Granted statistically females get a lighter sentence ( though I disagree with that entire reason behind women being given leniency).
Three cases stand out that ire my being to this day where the female received a lighter sentence .

I seem to run blind in the gender department and look at the crime and the actions of the perpetrators. Guess thats why no lawyer wants me as a jurist. I'd be sticking to the evidence and the actions. Not whether Miss Sally wants to play the Gee but I have kids at home to gain sympathy. She should have thought of that before she went on her criminal career goal.
Obviously people shouldn't get a pass just for being female. If the partner was a willing participant in atrocities, they deserve the same consequences.
That said, there have been circumstances where the partner basically got dragged along for the ride. I mean, do you think Ri Sol-ju could just walk away from Kim Jong-un if she wanted to?
