“... This statute covers all felonies in Indiana and therefore an appellant can be held responsible if he either perpetrated the crime or aided, abetted or encouraged its commission. George v. State (1969), 252 Ind. 344 , 247 N.E.2d 823 . A defendant is responsible for the acts of his confederates as well as his own. It is not essential that participation of any one defendant in each element of robbery be established. Here the appellants acted in unison. Any act of one is attributable to them all. Jones v. State (1963), 244 Ind. 682 , 195 N.E.2d 460 ; Cotton v. State (1965), 247 Ind. 56 , 211 N.E.2d 158 .... (Our emphasis).”
