What is the test to determine whether a lesser offense is necessarily included in a greater offense?

The test to be used for analyzing whether a particular lesser offense is necessarily included in a greater offense is set forth in People v. West (1970), 3 Cal.3d 595, 91 Cal.Rptr. 385, 477 P.2d 409. In West, the test to be applied is stated in the following language: 'The test in this state of a necessarily included offense is simply that where an offense cannot be committed without necessarily committing another offense, the latter is a necessarily included offense. " (Id. at p. 612, 91 Cal.Rptr. at p. 395, 477 P.2d at p. 419.)
