The following excerpt is from People v. Daveggio, 231 Cal.Rptr.3d 646, 4 Cal.5th 790, 415 P.3d 717 (Cal. 2018):
We further note that an aider and abettor may be liable for certain criminal conduct that he or she did not intend to facilitate, based on the so-called "natural and probable consequences doctrine." (People v. Chiu (2014) 59 Cal.4th 155, 164, 172 Cal.Rptr.3d 438, 325 P.3d 972.) That doctrine is not at issue in this appeal and could not, in any event, support a conviction for first degree murder. (Id. at pp. 166167, 172 Cal.Rptr.3d 438, 325 P.3d 972.)
