How have the courts treated the issue of aiding and abetting instructions in a trial?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from People v. Davis, A137353 (Cal. App. 2015):

Gurule (2002) 28 Cal.4th 557, 629-630; Morrison v. Estelle (9th Cir. 1992) 981 F.2d 425, 428.) Here, the prosecution filed its proposed jury instructions, including the aiding-and-abetting instructions at issue, almost two weeks before opening statements were given. And the ruling that the challenged instructions would be given was made the day before closing statements were given. As a result, the defense had plenty of time to prepare argument on aiding and abetting had it wished to do so.
