LESSER INCLUDED CHECKLIST
LIO VI(A) Introduction And Caveats: This checklist is the most comprehensive annotation of lesser included offenses ever published, however please read the following caveats:
CAVEAT I: Further independent research beyond this checklist should be conducted because this checklist is limited to included offenses which have been recognized by judicial decisions under the statutory elements of the offense. Therefore, consideration should always be given as to whether:
1. The charged offense contains a lesser included offense which has yet to be recognized in a published judicial decision, and/or
2. The elements of the offense, as charged, include a lesser offense even though the statutory elements do not. (See People v. Geiger (84) 35 C3d 510, 517, fn 4 [199 CR 45].)
CAVEAT II: Independent verification of the material in this checklist should always be made before relying on it.
CAVEAT III: This checklist does not include lesser related offenses. Although People v. Birks (98) 19 C4th 108 [77 CR2d 848] purported to preclude such instruction, there may be situations where a theory for instruction may be advanced as defense theory instruction under the federal constitution. See FORECITE LRO II(B); see also LRO II(C)–(I) for other potential theories. Hence, notwithstanding Birks consideration should be given to requesting lesser related offenses under the appropriate circumstances.
CAVEAT IV: Several lesser includeds have been included in this checklist based on the California Center for Judicial Education and Research Mandatory Criminal Jury Instruction Handbook (2004) Cal. Center for Judicial Education and Research (CJER). For a number of these offenses there appears to be no authority directly on the issue other than the CJER handbook. FORECITE has endeavored to assess the CJER position and has deleted or noted those that appear to be incorrect. However, counsel should independently assess the CJER position before relying on it.
Attempts: Pursuant to PC 1159, the attempted commission of any crime is a lesser included offense of that crime. (See People v. Vanderbilt (26) 190 C 461, 464 [249 P 867].) However, case law has recognized that certain crimes may not be attempted; e.g. assault (In re James M. (73) 9 C3d 517, 521-22 [108 CR 89]; involuntary manslaughter (People v. Broussard (77) 76 CA3d 193, 196-97 [142 CR 664]; reckless causing of a fire (In re Kent (86) 181 CA3d 721, 73-24 [226 CR 512].)
Accessory: Accessory to a felony is not a lesser included offense where guilt as a principal is alleged. (People v. Markus (78) 82 CA3d 477 [147 CR 151].)

Valdez (2004) 32 CA4th 73, 114–115, footnote 17, to determine whether second degree murder is a lesser included offense of first degree felony murder, it did note in Valdez (id., at p. 140 (dis. opn. of Chin, J.)) “the Attorney General’s contention that second degree murder is not a lesser included offense of first degree felony murder, because malice is an element of second degree murder, but is not an element of first degree felony murder.” (People v. Castaneda (2011) 51 CA4th 1292, 1328–1329.) Castaneda noted that the defendant there did “not address … how second degree murder, which requires malice, can be a lesser included offense of first degree felony murder, which does not require malice…” (Id. at p. 1329; see also People v. Cavitt (2004) 33 CA4th 187, 197.)
