McGee then shot Bessette in the back of the head, killing him. While the others ran off, McGee reentered the house and tried to get the two men remaining there to go outside. Apparently unaware that Bessette had been shot, they declined. A few minutes later, when defendant, Shelby, and Roarda picked McGee up, McGee told them that he had returned to the house in an unsuccessful attempt to get the cocaine. McGee wanted to go back again but Roarda refused to stop the car.
Defendant challenges several of the court's jury instructions.
The State argues that the defendant failed to preserve any of the claimed shortcomings in the instructions because he did not make a succinct recitation of the specific itemized objections following the instruction, as required by V.R.Cr. We need not address this issue because we find no error in any of the court's instructions that differed from those requested by defendant. A. Defendant objects to the court's instruction on accomplice liability, but fails to indicate what language in the instruction is objectionable. Each of these persons is criminally responsible for the acts of the others, and all who participate in the execution of the unlawful design. The Prosecution must only prove that one of the participants in the illegal project committed the homicide during the attempt to carry out that project.
