What is the test for whether a person is an aider and abettor in the commission of a crime?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Slaughter, 200 Cal.Rptr. 448, 35 Cal.3d 629, 677 P.2d 854 (Cal. 1984):
33 "[T]he question of whether a person is an aider and abettor in the commission of a crime is one of fact." (People v. Conely (1975) 48 Cal.App.3d 805, 808, 123 Cal.Rptr. 252.) In this respect, it is similar to the issue of whether a killing was committed "in furtherance of" the burglary attempt and involves a "factual determination of the committing magistrate." (See ibid.)
