What is the test for a conviction based on aider and abettor liability in a murder and attempted murder case?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. J.C. (In re J.C.), A136774, A137952 (Cal. App. 2014):
the court was whether substantial evidence supported the murder and attempted murder convictions based on aider and abettor liability. (Medina, supra, 46 Cal.4th at pp. 919-921.) Accordingly, Medina is inapposite. (See People v. Jennings (2010) 50 Cal.4th 616, 684 [" 'It is axiomatic that cases are not authority for propositions not considered' "].)
