What is the test for a jury to convict an aider and abettor of attempted murder?

" 'In reviewing the sufficiency of the evidence to support a judgment of conviction, we examine the entire record in the light most favorable to the prosecution, presuming in support of the judgment the existence of every fact the trier could reasonably deduce from the evidence, to determine whether a rational trier of fact could have found the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.'

(People v. McCoy (2001) 25 Cal.4th 1111, 1117, italics omitted.)
