No, he can’t be charged with felony murder if he was “simply walking with” Brown. The felony murder rule doesn’t work that way. Heck, even if he was involved in the original robbery, he probably can’t be charged with felony murder, since the resulting fight/shooting did not occur during the robbery or during the immediate flight therefrom.

Does he know that?
I suppose his lawyer would - you know, the guy that loaned him the tie.

A couple of questions: first,are you a lawyer? If you are would you care to comment on my post #65? And also,if you are,could you define the word "immediate" when used in "immediate flight therefrom"?

If you're not a lawyer...well,your opinion means no more,and no less,than mine (and I ain't no lawyer).

You are wrong on that one. The assault on the officer is what gets him the murder charges. Because it was an attack on an officer it goes to 90 years.
