The sticky part will be proving that the other folks “commit[ted] or attempt[ed] to commit” the crime of robbery. If there’s a “joint enterprise” instruction available in Alabama, it might work, but I don’t know that “mere” conspiracy to commit robbery would get them there. Driving the getaway car would be an act in furtherance of the conspiracy, and might also qualify them as “participants” in the robbery.
Your thoughts?
1) Alabama has criminal conspiracy and complicity laws which seem at first glance to me to make conspirators and accomplices participants in whatever crime they are conspiring to commit. You might want to try to make sense of it HERE.
2) I am uncertain what is meant in Alabama law by "causes the death of any person." Who caused the young thug's death? Was it his intended victim, his accomplices, or both?
