The following excerpt is from People v. R.P. (In re R.P.), 2d Juv. No. B281836 (Cal. App. 2018):
he was "'merely present' while events were unfolding" is insufficient to show that he "was in any way involved . . . in the alleged burglary." (See People v. Salgado (2001) 88 Cal.App.4th 5, 15 ["mere presence at the scene of a crime is insufficient to establish aider and abettor liability"].)
