I think 65 years is probably too much but I don’t have an issue with the conviction. This kid knowingly went on an armed burglary spree with his friends. If you are rolling with people who are armed and you’re engaging in crimes that are being committed with that gun, you do have culpability when during that crime spree that you are willingly participating in someone gets shot. What is it that the kids say these days…f*ck around and find out. [/quote]

You don't have an issue with convicting someone for a murder they didn't commit? I do.[/quote]

How do you feel about a group of guys standing around or in a car laughing, cheering, and taking pictures of one of their buddies raping and maybe killing a girl?[/quote]

I think there's a meaningful distinction between doing a thing and not doing that thing. What do you think?

Posters on this thread are arguing that the person who actually killed the person (in the case above, the police officer) should have no consequences for killing the person, while multiple people who did not kill the person should be convicted of murder, because there should be consequences. There is no logic that I can perceive in this argument, besides "some people who do some bad things should be punished, and I don't care for what as long as they're punished."[/quote]
