What is the current state of the law on the aider and abettor theory?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Awad, G050579 (Cal. App. 2016):
The cases cited by defendant in support of his attack on the aider and abettor theory do not support his argument. He suggests People v. McKissack (1968) 259 Cal.App.2d 283 established the minimal requirements for convicting a person of forgery on an aiding and abetting theory. McKissack simply held the evidence in that case supported the defendant's forgery conviction. The court did not purport to declare a baseline of what must be proven to uphold a conviction for aiding and abetting a forgery.
