In what circumstances will a defendant be charged with the target crime of robbery as a natural and probable consequence of the crime?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Prettyman, 14 Cal.4th 248, 58 Cal.Rptr.2d 827, 926 P.2d 1013 (Cal. 1996):

6 Of course, in some cases the defendant will be charged with the target crime in addition to the offense that is a natural and probable consequence thereof. (See, e.g., People v. Nguyen (1988) 204 Cal.App.3d 181, 251 Cal.Rptr. 40 [defendant charged and convicted as an aider and abettor both of the target crime of robbery and of attempted murder as a natural and probable consequence of the robbery.].)

7 We disapprove People v. Solis, supra, 20 Cal.App.4th 264, 25 Cal.Rptr.2d 184, to the extent that it is inconsistent with the views expressed herein.
