The People, Plaintiff and Respondent v. Vince Bryan Smith, Defendant and Appellant — Liu, J., Concurring

Summary

Justice Liu concurred in affirming Smith's murder conviction, but rejected the majority's speculative theory that jurors could convict despite uncertainty about which confederate killed the victims. The concurrence reasoned that the record contained sufficient evidence for the jury to find that Littleton committed both murders, making it unnecessary to decide whether the natural-and-probable-consequences doctrine permits conviction without agreement on the killer's identity.
