1. ““The procedural safeguards securing to the accused the privilege against self incrimination during custodial interrogation do not apply to cross-examination of a defendant who has taken the witness stand in his own defense. “When the defendant takes the stand as a witness he takes his integrity and character with him, and he cannot complain because he is subjected to the same inquires and tests as other witnesses.” (Syl. ¶¶ 1 & 2.)”

2. ““One who aids and abets in the commission of an offense may be charged, tried and convicted as though he were a principal. The evidence was to the effect that there were seven persons in an automobile — five young men and two juveniles. One of the young men stood in front of the victims’ automobile, two stood on the guest’s side and two accosted the driver. After the driver was knocked down the appellant took his watch and billfold. The appellant searched the glove compartment while the young lady was being raped in the back seat of the automobile. The appellant kicked out the lights and tore out the wires under the hood of the vehicle to prevent the victims from leaving the scene of the crime for help.” (pp. 799-800.)”
