What is the test for determining whether the charged offense is a natural and probable consequence of the charged offence?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Priel, G057713 (Cal. App. 2020):

Whether the charged offense is a natural and probable consequence of an intended crime does not depend on whether the aider and abettor personally foresaw the nontarget offense, let alone intended it. Rather, liability '"is measured by whether a reasonable person in the defendant's position would have or should have known that the charged offense was a reasonably foreseeable consequence of the act aided and abetted."" (People v. Medina (2009) 46 Cal.4th 913, 920.)
