Tyler looks like he is scared out of his mind, but I don't understand how he is getting away with only a Disorderly Conduct charge. I thought I you were with folks who shot a cop, you go down as an accomplice to Capital Murder.
This is big news. White on black crime. What is it, a 1000 to 1 ratio?
I think Felony Murder only applies if there was another crime being committed in which the second perp was participating. If they’d been robbing the place it’s one thing and it’s a different thing if it’s a spontaneous scuffle and someone pulls a gun.
The prosecutors either can’t prove sufficient involvement or that there could be witnesses who can say that he tried to verbally tried to stop his brother.
He should be charged with more. For sure.
