So they beat up and mugged a family, threw a two year old down on the pavement, jumped in the family's car, and ran over and killed the two-year-old...but they didn't mean to kill her?

Wouldn't a rational person expect that if they threw down a two year old in a parking lot or road near a car they were "carjacking", that the child might well be injured or killed by the car or another car?

In a common sense world, it would be easy to prove that such malicious disregard for life in the commission of a robbery does indeed amount to murder.

But no, not according the the grandly nuanced legal "meanings" employed by our jurisprudence.

Death caused in the commission of a felony assault and robbery.

All the perps ought to be looking at imminent execution.

And the prosecutor at permanent employment picking up roadside trash after being convicted of malfeasance and dereliction of duty.
