I don't know. The guy knew that the lady was in her home alone, with
a baby. He and the dead dude were likely egging each other on,
perhaps (as it states) high on drugs, wanting more (money and/or
drugs). Therefore, they were both committing a feloney, and the
result was 1 dead dude. The other should be charged with at least
soomething, leading to the death of the first one.

I'm glad I live on the other side of the Passaic River ...

Have not really thought this through, but I think at first blush I disagree
Han. The dude that went in got what he deserved. The other guy did not and
he should not be responsible for the fate of the first guy. Other charges?
Sure. Attempted burlary or the likes would work for me. Other types of
charges reflecting his actual participation? Sure. Just not sure I see the
real logic in the murder (manslaughter?) charges.
