Is an aider and abettor of an assault liable for an additional crime?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Soy, B253692 (Cal. App. 2015):
Prettyman (1996) 14 Cal.4th 248, 289-290.) An aider and abettor is guilty of all offenses that are the natural and probable consequence of the target offense. In determining whether the nonintended crime is the natural and probable consequences of the intended crime, we do not consider whether the aider and abettor actually foresaw the additional crime, but whether, judged objectively, it was reasonably foreseeable. (People v. Prettyman, at pp. 261-262.)
