P. v. Lee CA6
In 2010, a jury convicted petitioner and defendant Christopher Lee, along with codefendant Kosal Khek, of first degree murder. (Pen. Code, § 187, count 1.) Lee was not present at the scene of the killing, so the jury was instructed that he could be guilty of first degree murder under one of two derivative liability theories, either as a direct aider and abettor, or under the natural and probable consequences theory of liability. Lee, who was a juvenile at the time he committed the offenses, was sentenced to a total term of 32 years to life in prison, including a sentence of 25 years to life on the charge of first degree murder.
