Is there any case law that supports the argument that the evidence supporting the allegation of aiding and abetting the possession of cocaine with the intent to distribute?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Miroyan, 990 F.2d 1264 (9th Cir. 1993):

Count 2 charged Miroyan with aiding and abetting Hurley to knowingly and intentionally possess cocaine with the intent to distribute. Although Hurley's testimony was certainly sufficient for a rational juror to have found Miroyan guilty of aiding and abetting, Miroyan argues that because Hurley later acquired approximately twelve ounces of the cocaine back from Hurst to sell in San Diego, unbeknownst to Miroyan, the evidence was not sufficient. However, Miroyan did not have to know of Hurley's later intent to distribute some of the cocaine in San Diego specifically to be convicted of aiding and abetting. See United States v. Mehrmanesh, 682 F.2d 1303, 1308 (9th Cir.1982).
