| Topic | Three teen burglars shot and killed by homeowner's son. |

The part I have a problem with is the getaway driver being charged with their murder when they were willing participants just like her. If somebody dies as a consequence of criminal activity, all involved parties in that criminal activity are on the hook for those deaths, which are typically considered murder in such cases. You see similar charges laid if a pair tries robbing a store: if one of them is killed by the owner in self-defense, the other can be charged with their murder. Those other people are dead because she drove them there, thus she is responsible for their deaths.
