"All persons concerned in the commission of a felony, whether they directly commit the act constituting the offense, or aid and abet in its commission, though not present, must be indicted, tried and punished as principals." Mitchell v. State, 51 Ala. App. 411, 286 So.2d 85 (1973); Ala. Code 1975, § 13-9-1 (replaced by Ala.
