A couple of people on that Anderson Independent-Mail article were bemoaning folks being so mean talking about “Dimp” (the girl) because she just made a mistake. Taking a wrong turn off the highway is a mistake. Joining two other people, bashing into somebody’s house, and holding them on the floor at gunpoint isn’t a mistake, it’s a choice. And choices have consequences, sometimes fatal ones.

Agreed. A mistake is doing something you don't intend to do. She fully intended to rob this guy at gunpoint. In this case I think we should call it a "robbery gone right."
