Does the natural and probable consequences doctrine apply to the charge of attempted murder?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Phipps, E065254 (Cal. App. 2019):
Because "the trial court did not instruct the jury on the natural and probable consequences doctrine" as it related to the charge of attempted murder, and instead "instructed only on an aider and abettor's guilt of the intended crim[e]" of attempted murder, "only an aider and abettor's guilt of intended crime is relevant here." (People v. McCoy, supra, 25 Cal.4th at p. 1117, italics added.)
