2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““Mere association with the principals who actually commit the crime or mere presence in the vicinity of the crime is insufficient to establish guilt as an aider or abettor; however, when a person knowingly associates with the unlawful venture and participates in a way which indicates he willfully is furthering the success of the venture, such evidence of guilt is sufficient to go to the jury. State v. Wilson & Wentworth, 221 Kan. 359, 367 , 559 P.2d 374 (1977); see State v. Schriner, 215 Kan. 86 , 523 P.2d 703 (1974). A person is criminally responsible for a crime committed by others if that person intentionally aids and abets the others in the commission of the crime. State v. Goering, 225 Kan. 755, 758 , 594 P.2d 194 (1979); see State v. Edwards, 209 Kan. 681 , 498 P.2d 48 (1972). K.S.A. 21-3205(1) states that ‘[a] person is criminally responsible for a crime committed by another if he intentionally aids, abets, advises, hires, counsels or procures the other to commit the crime.’ ””
