What is the test for a jury to determine whether defendant intended to aid and abet the crime of simple assault?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Sanchez, B262845 (Cal. App. 2016):

In summary, there is sufficient evidence that defendant intended to aid and abet the target crime of simple assault and that the assault with a deadly weapon and attempted murder committed by Barrios were a foreseeable consequence of that intended assault. Because we conclude a rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of the crime proven beyond a reasonable doubt, the due process guarantees of the United States and California constitutions are satisfied. (People v. Carter (2005) 36 Cal.4th 1114, 1156.)

B. Judicial Misconduct
