What if a jury was instructed on aiding and abetting only for counts four through fifteen only?
The following excerpt is from United States v. Chao Fan Xu, D.C. No. 2:02-CR-00674-PMP-LRL-1, D.C. No. 2:02-CR-00674-PMP-LRL-2, D.C. No. 2:02-CR-00674-PMP-LRL-3, D.C. No. 2:02-CR-00674-PMP-LRL-4, No. 09-10189, No. 09-10193, No. 09-10201, No. 09-10202 (9th Cir. 2013):
The aiding and abetting charges, under 18 U.S.C. 2, applied to counts four through fifteen only. Defendants admit that the jury was instructed on aiding and abetting only for counts four through fifteen. Juries are presumed to follow the instructions given them. See Richardson v. Marsh, 481 U.S. 200, 206 (1987). There is no error here.
