The day before this burglary, Smith and others were involved in the murder of another man. The stolen car used in the burglary came from yet another murder.

Gee, it's almost as if there were real crimes he could have been charged with, instead of the bullshit crime of his friend getting killed by the cops.

His friend getting killed by the cops as a result of a crime sprea is grounds for Felony Murder charges. You can say it's a dumb law but you cannot say the charges are bullshit.

Yes, I can say the charges are bullshit because they're bullshit. Felony murder in general is bullshit. Felony murder for a murder not committed by a member of the group is extra bullshit. Felony murder charges for a member of the group getting killed by the cops is ridiculous bullshit.
