California Court of Appeal

Trial court erred by giving instructions on aider and abettor liability, since the facts adduced at trial did not support the prosecution's theory. The prosecution's coequal reliance on two theories of liability, one of which was not supported by the evidence, mandates reversal of the cause for a new trial.
