California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Molina, G055709 (Cal. App. 2019):
4. Ramos claims this assertion is supported by People v. Lauria (1967) 251 Cal.App.2d 471, 481-482, which does not discuss the elements of a charge of being an accessory after the fact. Instead, it addresses the proof necessary to demonstrate participation in a conspiracy.
