Can teaching somebody a 'criminal skill' make the teacher an accessary to criminal activity?
The possible scenarios I have in my head are in cases where one person might demonstrate how something like hacking, lock picking, or hot wiring is done to somebody else.
If the person that learns this stuff ends up committing a crime with his/her new found skills. Could that possibly make the person who taught the criminal the skill an accessary to criminal activity?
Are there any court cases that relate to this? If so, what are they or how can I find them? I'm not much of a legal person so I'm sort of ignorant to where I can find good information on this sort of stuff.

No, because not one of those those skills is ILLEGAL in and of itself. Only how one uses it. Lock picking isn't illegal. Locksmiths do it every day. Only using it to break into a house is. Just like if I teach you how to shoot a gun, I'm not an accessory if you go shoot someone with it.
