1. ““The presence of one at the commission of a felony by another is evidence to be considered in determining whether or not he was guilty of aiding and abetting and it has also been held that presence, companionship and conduct before and after the offense are circumstances from which one’s participation in the criminal intent may be inferred. [Citation omitted.] ‘Evidence fairly showing any form of affirmative participation in a crime is sufficient to support a conviction.’ [Citation omitted.] One’s affirmative participation in the commission of a felony may be satisfied by inference and the evidence need not directly place the defendant in the act of committing the crime for which he is charged. [Citation omitted.]” (Our emphasis.)”
