People v Robinson

Holding The court affirmed the convictions, finding sufficient evidence to establish the defendant’s liability as an accessory based on her shared intent and assistance in the principal’s actions. The court also rejected the defendant’s arguments regarding the weight of the evidence, the admissibility of expert testimony on slang, and the applicability of the Domestic Violence Survivors Justice Act.

The court’s words

there is "a valid line of reasoning and permissible inferences to support the conclusion that defendant had a shared intent, or community of purpose with the principal, in carrying out the [charged offense], and that defendant intentionally aided the principal in bringing forth [the] result"
