Name: People v. Rushing
Case #: B334988
Division: 3
Opinion Date: 20250320
Summary

The Court of Appeal affirmed the denial of appellant’s PC 1172.6 resentencing petition, finding that, although the trial court read the optional bracketed language in CALCRIM No. 400, which introduced the theory of liability for a crime that was committed while a person was aiding and abetting another crime, the trial court never instructed the jury on the natural and probable consequences doctrine.
