Re: Burglar Shot by owner, another in custody

The attorney quoted in that article, about how hard it will be to convict the getaway driver, when the homeowner who did the shooting isn't charged, must have gone to a cheap law school, on the matchbook cover or something. If they are charging the get away driver with murder, it must be under some sort of felony murder rule, which typically makes anyone involved in the commission of a violent felony guilty of murder if anyone is killed in the process. Each state has its own variation of the rule, of course, but that's how it works.
