Ohio law allows for people involved in crimes that result in any deaths to be charged with murder, even if the defendant did not directly kill the victim. For example, if a person is killed during a bank robbery, the getaway driver can be charged with murder.

Interesting law... Seems like manslaughter would make more sense to me, but whatever fair next

This. Obviously you shouldn't be robbing banks and whatnot, but I don't think we should charge people with murder that did not actually commit murder.

Tell me how a getaway driver killed anyone for example? They should obviously get jail time, but they did not directly kill anyone and most likely never had the intent to kill anyone.

There was no murder. If I do something dumb that gets me killed, I'm not a murder victim

like how does the intent element of murder fit in here

How is it not a murder for the guy who did it but suddenly murder for the guy who accompanied the victim

Especially when it's abusing the law. The law is made so people can be charged with their accomplices crimes instead of saying you did nothing and getting off. Not only did their accomplice not do this, it wasn't even a crime. No manslaughter happened.

That'll probably get him off if he appeals.

The objective is to deter people from supporting crimes. If I want to stretch to answer this question, I could say having the driver available gave the robber the confidence to do what he wants and threaten the safety and lives of the civilians as his boy will back him up and help him escape from his crimes.

Yes, If someone is killed while you are in the commission of a felony, you can be charged with their death. Your felonious actions are the reason they are dead, and you should be held accountable.

But murder requires intent - seems hard to say "I wanted my friend to drive/be lookout/etc because I wanted him to die"?

But it shits all over personal responsibility. The deceaseds actions are the reason he is dead

Intent isn't always solely direct (like transferred malice or recklessness or w/e) but this seems like an extreme reach

It's more so "I know my friend has a gun and can potentially use it and me supporting and making his crime feasible means I am directly influencing the chance of him using it on someone".

In any case, we're straying from the point, the law is to spread collective responsibility among a group of perpetrators. If they're going to share in with the rewards, they might as well share in with the punishment.

Felony murder (which is what this is called) does not require intent.

obviously the law is meant to prevent people from committing crimes in groups, mainly gangs.

Fair next. Don't want to be in a situation like that? Don't fucking rob people. I'm a bleeding heart lefty guy, but come on. Shed that blood for people who deserve it.

Whole not an exact comparison, it's sort of like the RICO Act. If you're helping people do a crime you will get busted.
