California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Phung, G048108 (Cal. App. 2014):
A charged crime is a natural and probable consequence of a target crime if it was reasonably foreseeable that the charged crime would be committed. "The . . . question is not whether the aider and abettor actually foresaw the additional crime, but whether, judged objectively, it was reasonably foreseeable." (People v. Mendoza (1998) 18 Cal.4th 1114, 1133.)
