The following excerpt is from People v. Simons, E054984 (Cal. App. 2013):
4. Even if the error deprived Simons of any federal constitutional right, the error was also harmless beyond a reasonable doubt under the harmless error standard of Chapman v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 18, 24.
5. Simons does not appear to argue that there is insufficient evidence to establish that he acted as either a perpetrator or an aider and abettor if there is, in fact, substantial evidence that one of the three participants discharged a firearm in the manner required under the statute.
6. People v. Superior Court (Romero) (1996) 13 Cal.4th 497.
