That’s some law in OK that allows them to charge the get-away driver with the murder of her pals. She up da crick fo sho.
Doesn’t every state have that law? If a death occurs during a crime, all the accomplices are held responsible.
It’s called felony murder. If a person (including an accomplice) dies during the commission of a felony or the immediate flight therefrom, all accomplices are culpable for murder. That is the law in most states.
It’s called felony murder and is often used with the merger doctrine in almost all states
That isn’t just in OK. An accomplice to the crime can be charged for any act that occurs during the crime including the death of another accomplice.
But I thought it was common in all jurisdictions, for people involved in a crime where someone was murdered, that they too could be charged with murder as an accessory.
This story had a happy ending. Bad guys are dead. Fat girlfriend get-away driver is charged. Good guy defends himself and his home.
It’s similar in other states, a murder occurred in the commission of another crime. Doesn’t matter who committed the murder, perp or victim, and she was fully involved as the getaway driver. Personal knowledge of similar case in NJ, one person was not even on the scene, just helped to plan the crime, then one of the robbers was killed by homeowner..person got 5 yrs.
Felony murder law. A couple of years ago I was going into a Lowes store here in Oklahoma. Just as we were entering a man came running out with 3 DeWalt drills, jumped into a car driven by a woman and sped off. The car was a little out of control when it raced off and swerved several times. If the getaway car had struck and killed someone both thieves could have been charged with Felony murder, death of anyone that results from committing a felony.
