The following excerpt is from People v. Sanchez, B262845 (Cal. App. 2016):
In summary, there is sufficient evidence that defendant intended to aid and abet the target crime of simple assault and that the assault with a deadly weapon and attempted murder committed by Barrios were a foreseeable consequence of that intended assault. Because we conclude a rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of the crime proven beyond a reasonable doubt, the due process guarantees of the United States and California constitutions are satisfied. (People v. Carter (2005) 36 Cal.4th 1114, 1156.)
