3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“[S]uch an instruction could well have been objected to by appellant’s counsel. It could have been very harmful to appellant’s defense. He claimed that he did not participate in the matter at all, and an instruction relating to the status of ... his accomplices could well be taken by a jury, even though artfully and carefully phrased by the court, as indicating that the court thought the appellant had participated with them in the offense. This is exactly opposite to the conclusion that appellant was asking the jury to reach. This may be why appellant’s counsel did not ask for an instruction on the matter.”
