I don’t see how they can charge the passenger.
It is claimed that the passenger, who was doing the filming, was egging the driver on to hit the man on the bike.
If two thugs can go into a store and the store keeper kills one of them in self defense, the other thug can get charged with murder. It would seem that this murder is even more straight forward.
Even without a verbal command by the passenger, it would seem that just the act of filming the intentional hitting of other cars, and then the biker, would be construed as some type of aid.
“Well, if it weren’t for the camera, my little aspiring rapper wouldn’t have done any of it!”
“ I don’t see how they can charge the passenger.”
It’s called the Felony Murder rule. Every State has some version of it.
