I'm not meaning to excuse criminals, but recently there was an armed robbery in my area which ended up with one of the bad guys running away, breaking into someone's house to hide, and the police finding and shooting him dead. Now the robber who didn't run, and was arrested at the scene of the crime (a convenience store) is being charged with murder (of his partner who the cop shot.) Does this seem right?
I guess it's kind of like when police crash their cars on the way to respond to crimes. If an officer dies in a crash (not in actual pursuit), whoever committed the crime he was responding can be charged with homicide, in my area anyway.
