In the basic concept of “felony murder” (you’re committing a felony and someone dies for any reason, you’re then guilty of murder) but more precisely and broader:

“If, in the attempt to carry out a conspiracy to commit one felony, another felony is committed by one of the conspirators, all conspirators are guilty of the felony actually committed, though having no intent to commit it, if the offense was committed in furtherance of the unlawful purpose and was one that should have been anticipated as a result of the carrying out of the conspiracy.”

So... What’s the primary felony here which all arrestees were conspiring to commit?

I think they all were conspiring to eat lunch & possibly have a beer.

Did you read the arrest affidavits?

OTOH, extortion is a felony.
