Ohio Supreme Court May 18, 1916, No. 15211 (State v. Doty)

Jones, J.

Although Plerbert Doty and his associate defendants were indicted as principals, under such an indictment by virtue of Section 12380, General Code, either of the defendants could be prosecuted and punished as if he were the principal offender. Although charged as principal in the indictment, Doty was in fact prosecuted, under the conceded facts in this case, as an aider and abettor.
