People v. Malcolm

Defendant was convicted, after bench trial, of first-degree murder and robbery; co-Defendant identified Defendant as person holding cell phone and recording assault of victim. Defendant was a friend of co-Defendant, and knew that another co-Defendant had recently been released from juvenile detention and made statements indicating that illegal acts that could cause great bodily harm were going to occur. Court properly considered this factor, and the factor that Defendant did not call police and fled scene, in convicting Defendant based on theory of accountability.Court within its discretion in sentencing Defendant to 22 years for first-degree murder and 8 years for robbery.(CONNORS and HARRIS, concurring.)
