In what circumstances will a defendant be found guilty of driving his accomplice to the scene of a drive-by shooting?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Easter, F063263 (Cal. App. 2013):

In People v. Romero (2006) 140 Cal.App.4th 15, the defendant drove fellow gang members to the site of a drive-by shooting, and the court found the gang enhancements were supported by substantial evidence because the defendant committed the offenses in association with fellow gang members. "There was ample evidence that [defendant] intended to commit a crime, that he intended to help [his accomplice] commit a crime, and that he knew [his accomplice] was a member of his gang. This evidence creates a reasonable inference that [defendant] possessed the specific intent to further [his accomplice's] criminal conduct." (Id. at p. 20.)
