This the one? http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=pen&group=00001-01000&file=30-33 31. All persons concerned in the commission of a crime, whether it be felony or misdemeanor, and whether they directly commit the conduct yourself constituting the offense, or aid and abet in its commission, or, not being present, have advise and encouraged its commission, and all persons counseling, advise, or encouraging children under the age of fourteen years, or persons who are mentally incapacitated, to commit any crime, or who, by fraud, contrivance, or force, occasion the drunkenness of another for the purpose of cause him to commit any crime, or who, by threats, menaces, command, or coercion, compel another to commit any crime, are principals in any crime so committed. Seems pretty self-explanatory, if not a bit long winded. If you had anything to do beside planning, engaging in, or encouraging or compelling another to commit a crime, you are just as guilty as the perpetrator. For instance: if you told someone to budge kill your neighbor, and he went next door and shot your neighbor, you could be charged and convicted of Murder contained by the 1st the same as the shooter. That help?
