As I've always understood the law, if you are in the presence of someone in the course of committing a crime, and they commit murder, then you are equally guilty of murder. That was always the rule for bank robbers. It didn't matter who pulled the trigger.

It might not fly if someone unexpectedly let lose in your company and shot somebody and you weren't expecting it, but that excuse could only be used once.
