None of the news reports have mentioned it, but the dead guy's partner will

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

Not in the slightest. If you commit a crime, and it causes someone to
die, that's murder. This is practically the textbook case.


Nonsense. This scenario is far from from the "textbook case" ... read
the laws in the various states and you will quickly understand that this
particular scenario is neither a "textbook case", nor does it fit with
the crafted distinction in all States that have a felony murder statute.

What it is a textbook example of "legal fiction" ... look it up.


What is your suggested punishment for the 2nd idiot?


The prescribed punishment for what he confessed to, not a witch hunt
punishment. If this liberal law and lawyers thought that they had half
a chance of nailing the woman for the murder and not create public
outrage the other idiot would probably be sentenced with 90 days of
public service.
