None of the news reports have mentioned it, but the dead guy's
partner will be charged with felony murder.

I have no sympathy for the dude, but that's the kind of ridiculous
overreaching by prosecutors that defies logic and commonsense.

Asshat lawyers ...

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,

Um, she was a looker and the guy she shot had been stalking her that
day. I think they wanted something other than money or drugs from her.


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.

It's common for all parties involved to be charged with conspiracy to
murder when a death occurs during the commission of the crime. It
isn't often -pursued-, though. Yeah, the second guy needs to be
punished for his involvement, but I'm not sure a murder rap is the
correct punishment. I guess we'll see. Was it he who got the other
guy interested in the woman so he could get sloppy seconds? Maybe it
is a fitting punishment after all. I group rape and murder pretty
closely as far as heinous crimes go. Rape can taint the woman and all
of the people around her for a lifetime, sometimes being worse than
death.
