Aiding and Abetting: Intended Crimes CALCRIM 401
To prove that the defendant is guilty of a crime based on aiding and abetting that crime, the People must prove that: The perpetrator committed the crime; The defendant knew that the perpetrator intended to commit the crime; Before or during the commission of the crime, the defendant intended to aid and abet the perpetrator in committing the crime; AND The defendant's words or conduct did in fact aid and abet the perpetrator's commission of the crime. If all of these requirements are proved, the defendant does not need to actually have been present when the crime was committed to be guilty as an aider and abettor.
3
Solicitation: Elements Pen. Code § 653(f) - CALCRIM 441
To prove that the defendant is guilty of this crime, the People must prove that: The defendant requested [or _________ < synonyms for solicit >] another person to commit or join in the commission of the crime of __________ ; [AND] The defendant intended that the crime of __________ be committed; If the person solicited must receive message: [AND The other person received the communication containing the request.] The crime of solicitation must be proved by the testimony of at least two witnesses or by the testimony of one witness and corroborating evidence A person is guilty of solicitation even if the crime solicited is not completed or even started. The person solicited does not have to agree to commit the crime

First or Second Degree Murder with Malice Aforethought Pen
First or Second Degree Murder with Malice Aforethought Pen. Code § CALCRIM 520 To prove that the defendant is guilty of this crime, the People must prove that: The defendant committed an act that caused the death of another person/ [or] a fetus; AND When the defendant acted, he/she had a state of mind called malice aforethought; When instructing on justifiable or excusable homicide: [AND He/She killed without lawful excuse/[or] justification.] If you decide that the defendant committed murder, it is murder of the second degree, unless the People have proved beyond a reasonable doubt that it is murder of the first degree
5
Malice Aforethought: Definitions Pen. Code § 187 - CALCRIM 520
There are two kinds of malice aforethought, express malice and implied malice. Proof of either is sufficient to establish the state of mind required for murder. Defendant acted with express malice if he/she unlawfully intended to kill. Defendant acted with implied malice if: He/She intentionally committed an act; The natural and probable consequences of the act were dangerous to human life; At the time he/she acted, he/she knew his/her act was dangerous to human life; AND He/She deliberately acted with conscious disregard for human/ [or] fetal life. Malice aforethought does not require hatred or ill will toward the victim. It is a mental state that must be formed before the act that causes death is committed. It does not require deliberation or the passage of any particular period of time.
6
Causes Death: Definition Pen. Code § 187, 192 - CALCRIM 500s
An act causes death if the death is the direct, natural, & probable consequence of the act and the death would not have happened without the act. A natural and probable consequence is one that a reasonable person would know is likely to happen if nothing unusual intervenes. An act causes death only if it is a substantial factor in causing the death. A substantial factor is more than a trivial or remote factor. However, it does not need to be the only factor that causes the death.
7
First Degree Murder Pen. Code § 189 - CALCRIM 521
The defendant is guilty of first degree murder if the People have proved that he/she acted willfully, deliberately, and with premeditation. The defendant acted willfully if he/she intended to kill. The defendant acted deliberately if he/she carefully weighed the considerations for and against his/her choice and, knowing the consequences, decided to kill. The defendant acted with premeditation if he/she decided to kill before completing the act[s] that caused death. The length of time the person spends considering whether to kill does not alone determine whether the killing is deliberate and premeditated. The amount of time required for deliberation and premeditation may vary from person to person and according to the circumstances. A decision to kill made rashly, impulsively, or without careful consideration is not deliberate and premeditated. On the other hand, a cold, calculated decision to kill can be reached quickly. The test is the extent of the reflection, not the length of time.
8
Voluntary Manslaughter: Heat of Passion Pen
Voluntary Manslaughter: Heat of Passion Pen. Code § 192(a) - CALCRIM 570 A killing that would otherwise be murder is reduced to voluntary manslaughter if the defendant killed someone because of a sudden quarrel or in the heat of passion. The defendant killed someone because of a sudden quarrel or in the heat of passion if: The defendant was provoked; As a result of the provocation, the defendant acted rashly and under the influence of intense emotion that obscured his/her reasoning or judgment; AND The provocation would have caused a person of average disposition to act rashly and without due deliberation, that is, from passion rather than from judgment.
9
Heat of Passion: Definitions Pen. Code § 192(a) - CALCRIM 570
Heat of passion does not require anger, rage, or any specific emotion. It can be any violent or intense emotion that causes a person to act without due deliberation and reflection. In order for heat of passion to reduce a murder to voluntary manslaughter, the defendant must have acted under the direct and immediate influence of provocation as I have defined it. While no specific type of provocation is required, slight or remote provocation is not sufficient. It is not enough that the defendant simply was provoked. You must decide whether the defendant was provoked and whether the provocation was sufficient. In deciding whether the provocation was sufficient, consider whether a person of average disposition, in the same situation and knowing the same facts, would have reacted from passion rather than from judgment.
10
Voluntary Manslaughter: Imperfect Self-Defense or Imperfect Defense of Another Pen. Code § 192(a) - CALCRIM (1 of 2) A killing that would otherwise be murder is reduced to voluntary manslaughter if the defendant killed a person because he/she acted in imperfect self-defense/ [or] imperfect defense of another. If you conclude the defendant acted in complete self-defense/ [or] defense of another, his/her action was lawful and you must find him/her not guilty of any crime. The difference between complete self-defense/ [or] defense of another and imperfect self-defense/ [or] imperfect defense of another depends on whether the defendant's belief in the need to use deadly force was reasonable.
11
Voluntary Manslaughter: Imperfect Self-Defense or Imperfect Defense of Another Pen. Code § 192(a) - CALCRIM 571 – (2 of 2) The defendant acted in imperfect self-defense/ [or] imperfect defense of another if: The defendant actually believed that he/she/ [or] someone else was in imminent danger of being killed or suffering great bodily injury; AND The defendant actually believed that the immediate use of deadly force was necessary to defend against the danger; BUT At least one of those beliefs was unreasonable. Belief in future harm is not sufficient, no matter how great or how likely the harm is believed to be. In evaluating the defendant's beliefs, consider all the circumstances as they were known and appeared to the defendant.
12
Voluntary Manslaughter: Murder Not Charged (Option 1) Pen
Voluntary Manslaughter: Murder Not Charged (Option 1) Pen. Code § 192(a) - CALCRIM 572 To prove that the defendant is guilty of voluntary manslaughter, the People must prove that: The defendant committed an act that caused the death of another person; AND When the defendant acted, he/she unlawfully intended to kill someone; When instructing on self-defense or defense of another: [AND He/She killed without lawful excuse or justification.] The length of time the person spends considering whether to kill does not alone determine whether the killing is deliberate and premeditated. The amount of time required for deliberation and premeditation may vary from person to person and according to the circumstances. A decision to kill made rashly, impulsively, or without careful consideration is not deliberate and premeditated. On the other hand, a cold, calculated decision to kill can be reached quickly. The test is the extent of the reflection, not the length of time.
13
Voluntary Manslaughter: Murder Not Charged (Option 2) Pen
Voluntary Manslaughter: Murder Not Charged (Option 2) Pen. Code § 192(a) - CALCRIM 572 OR the People must prove that: The defendant intentionally committed an act that caused the death of another person; The natural consequences of the act were dangerous to human life; At the time he/she acted, he/she knew the act was dangerous to human life; AND He/She deliberately acted with conscious disregard for human life; When instructing on self-defense or defense of another: [AND He/She killed without lawful excuse or justification.]
14
Involuntary Manslaughter: Lesser Offense Included Pen
Involuntary Manslaughter: Lesser Offense Included Pen. Code § 192(b) - CALCRIM (1 of 2) When a person commits an unlawful killing but does not intend to kill and does not act with conscious disregard for human life, then the crime is involuntary manslaughter. The difference between other homicide offenses and involuntary manslaughter depends on whether the person was aware of the risk to life that his or her actions created and consciously disregarded that risk. An unlawful killing caused by a willful act done with full knowledge and awareness that the person is endangering the life of another, and done in conscious disregard of that risk, is voluntary manslaughter or murder. An unlawful killing resulting from a willful act committed without intent to kill and without conscious disregard of the risk to human life is involuntary manslaughter.
15
Involuntary Manslaughter: Lesser Offense Included Pen
Involuntary Manslaughter: Lesser Offense Included Pen. Code § 192(b) - CALCRIM 580 – (2 of 2) The defendant committed involuntary manslaughter if: The defendant committed a crime/ [or] a lawful act in an unlawful manner; The defendant committed the crime/ [or] act with criminal negligence; AND The defendant's acts caused the death of another person. Criminal negligence involves more than ordinary carelessness, inattention, or mistake in judgment. A person acts with criminal negligence when: He or she acts in a reckless way that creates a high risk of death or great bodily injury; AND A reasonable person would have known that acting in that way would create such a risk.
16
Involuntary Manslaughter: Murder Not Charged Pen

Criminal negligence involves more than ordinary carelessness, inattention, or mistake in judgment. A person acts with criminal negligence when: He or she acts in a reckless way that creates a high risk of death or great bodily injury; AND A reasonable person would have known that acting in that way would create such a risk.
17
Involuntary Manslaughter: Failure to Perform Legal Duty Pen
Involuntary Manslaughter: Failure to Perform Legal Duty Pen. Code § 192(b) - CALCRIM 582 To prove that the defendant is guilty of involuntary manslaughter, the People must prove that: The defendant had a legal duty to _________ ; The defendant failed to perform that legal duty; The defendant's failure was criminally negligent; AND The defendant's failure caused the death of _________ . Criminal negligence involves more than ordinary carelessness, inattention, or mistake in judgment. A person acts with criminal negligence when: He or she acts in a reckless way that creates a high risk of death or great bodily injury; AND A reasonable person would have known that acting in that way would create such a risk.
18
Gross Vehicular Manslaughter While Intoxicated Pen. Code § 191
Gross Vehicular Manslaughter While Intoxicated Pen. Code § 191.5(a) - CALCRIM 590 To prove that the defendant is guilty of this crime, the People must prove that: The defendant drove under the influence of an alcoholic beverage/ [or] a drug/drove while having a blood alcohol level of 0.08 or higher/drove under the influence of an alcoholic beverage/ [or] a drug when under the age of 21/drove while having a blood alcohol level of 0.05 or higher when under the age of 21; While driving that vehicle under the influence of an alcoholic beverage/ [or] a drug, the defendant also committed a/an misdemeanor/ [or] infraction/ [or] otherwise lawful act that might cause death; The defendant committed the misdemeanor/ [or] infraction/ [or] otherwise lawful act that might cause death with gross negligence; AND The defendant's grossly negligent conduct caused the death of another person.
19
Gross Vehicular Manslaughter While Intoxicated : Definitions Pen
Gross Vehicular Manslaughter While Intoxicated : Definitions Pen. Code § 191.5(a) - CALCRIM 590 Gross negligence involves more than ordinary carelessness, inattention, or mistake in judgment. A person acts with gross negligence when: He or she acts in a reckless way that creates a high risk of death or great bodily injury; AND A reasonable person would have known that acting in that way would create such a risk. The combination of driving a vehicle while under the influence of an alcoholic beverage/ [and/or] a drug and violating a traffic law is not enough by itself to establish gross negligence. In evaluating whether the defendant acted with gross negligence, consider the level of the defendant's intoxication, if any; the way the defendant drove; and any other relevant aspects of the defendant's conduct.
20
Vehicular Manslaughter While Intoxicated— Ordinary Negligence Pen
Vehicular Manslaughter While Intoxicated— Ordinary Negligence Pen. Code § 191.5(b) - CALCRIM 591 To prove that the defendant is guilty of this crime, the People must prove that: The defendant drove under the influence of an alcoholic beverage/ [or] a drug/drove while having a blood alcohol level of 0.08 or higher/drove under the influence of an alcoholic beverage/ [or] a drug when under the age of 21/drove while having a blood alcohol level of 0.05 or higher when under the age of 21; While driving that vehicle under the influence of an alcoholic beverage/ [or] a drug, the defendant also committed a/an misdemeanor/ [or] infraction/ [or] otherwise lawful act that might cause death; The defendant committed the misdemeanor/ [or] infraction/[or] otherwise lawful act that might cause death with ordinary negligence; AND The defendant's negligent conduct caused the death of another person.
21
Ordinary Negligence: Definition Pen. Code § 191
Ordinary Negligence: Definition Pen. Code § 191.5(b), 192(c)(2) - CALCRIM 591, 593 The difference between this offense and the charged offense of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated is the degree of negligence required. Ordinary negligence is the failure to use reasonable care to prevent reasonably foreseeable harm to oneself or someone else. A person is negligent if he or she does something that a reasonably careful person would not do in the same situation/ [or] fails to do something that a reasonably careful person would do in the same situation.
22
Gross Vehicular Manslaughter Pen. Code § 192(c)(1) - CALCRIM 592

23
Gross Negligence: Definition Pen. Code § 192(c)(1) - CALCRIM 592
Gross negligence involves more than ordinary carelessness, inattention, or mistake in judgment. A person acts with gross negligence when: He or she acts in a reckless way that creates a high risk of death or great bodily injury; AND A reasonable person would have known that acting in that way would create such a risk. In other words, a person acts with gross negligence when the way he or she acts is so different from how an ordinarily careful person would act in the same situation that his or her act amounts to disregard for human life or indifference to the consequences of that act.
24
Misdemeanor Vehicular Manslaughter Pen. Code § 192(c)(2) - CALCRIM 593

A person intends to defraud if he or she intends to deceive another person in order to cause a loss of, or damage to, a legal, financial, or property right.
26
Attempted Murder Pen. Code § 664/187 - CALCRIM 600
To prove that the defendant is guilty of attempted murder, the People must prove that: The defendant took at least one direct but ineffective step toward killing another person/ [or] a fetus; AND The defendant intended to kill that/a person/ [or] fetus. A direct step is one that goes beyond planning or preparation and shows that a person is putting his or her plan into action. A direct step indicates a definite and unambiguous intent to kill. It is an immediate step that puts the plan in motion so that the plan would have been completed if some circumstance outside the plan had not interrupted the attempt. A person who attempts to commit murder is guilty of attempted murder even if, after taking a direct step toward killing, he or she abandons further efforts to complete the crime, or his or her attempt fails or is interrupted by someone or something beyond his or her control. On the other hand, if a person freely and voluntarily abandons his or her plans before taking a direct step toward committing the murder, then that person is not guilty of attempted murder.
27
Attempted Murder: Deliberation and Premeditation Pen
Attempted Murder: Deliberation and Premeditation Pen. Code § 664(a)/189 - CALCRIM 601 If you find the defendant guilty of attempted murder, you must then decide whether the People have proved the additional allegation that the attempted murder was done willfully, and with deliberation and premeditation. The defendant acted willfully if he/she intended to kill. The defendant deliberated if he/she carefully weighed the considerations for and against his/her choice and, knowing the consequences, decided to kill. The defendant premeditated if he/she decided to kill before completing the act[s] that caused death. The length of time the person spends considering whether to kill does not alone determine whether the killing is deliberate and premeditated. The amount of time required for deliberation and premeditation may vary from person to person and according to the circumstances. A decision to kill made rashly, impulsively, or without careful consideration is not deliberate and premeditated. On the other hand, a cold, calculated decision to kill can be reached quickly. The test is the extent of the reflection, not the length of time.

Defendant's belief must have been reasonable and he/she must have acted because of that belief.
