I recall that the felony murder rule gets invoked if you get involved in a felony where a resulting death is easily anticipated. Breaking and entering an occupied home falls squarely under that, as does armed robbery, even with an unloaded gun. Embezzlement would not.
From the San Diego Union in 2007:
“Khalifa was with 19-year-old Fernando Rivera when Rivera killed Love and later, while in Love’s stolen car, shot to death alleged accomplice Juan Pena and dumped his body.”
TOTAL ACCOMPLICE. BYE!!
No argument, Mr. Mason.
