Ubi bene ibi patria
" A 23-year-old Oklahoma man used a semi-automatic AR-15 rifle to shoot and kill three masked teenage intruders dressed in black who broke into his home Monday afternoon — an act authorities are investigating as self-defense.

Zach Peters, the homeowner's son, fatally shot an 18-year-old man and two boys ranging between 16 and 17 around 12:30 p.m. The trio allegedly forced their way into the residence through a back door and were killed after exchanging words with Peters, who fired multiple shots.

Police said the alleged getaway driver, 21-year-old Elizabeth Rodriguez, surrendered to the Broken Arrow Police Department Monday evening and is facing charges of three counts of first-degree murder and three counts of burglary.

Her first court appearance, set for Tuesday, has been pushed to April 5 and she was ordered to be held on no bond. "

Dear slow kid, once in awhile, if you do your homework, read the links, there is much information to be attained. To wit;

Wagoner County Deputy Sheriff Nick Mahoney said that Rodriguez is being charged with the murders because she was in "commission of felony" when she allegedly dropped them off at the residence, meaning she had an intent to burglarize the home

In some states, anyone involved in the crime is charged with murder when the crime results in death.
I thought that only came in to play when it was the victim. Murder seems like a far stretch for this, more like assisted suicide.

Nope, pretty common, I think. Meant to discourage folks from thinking "Well, my legal risk is low, since I'm just driving the car". Anyone, victim or criminal, dies in the commission, everybody on the bad guy team gets a bite of the ####e sandwich

Yes, it is the felony murder rule. The Supreme Court however has ruled that states cannot use the death penalty for a felony murder conviction if the person was not directly involved in the killing, such as in this case. Thus most severe punishment the get away driver can get is life without parole.

If you are involved in a crime, regardless of level of commitment, and somebody dies, you can be charged and found guilty of murder.

For example.. well.. the one above

But if you're robbing a liquor store and the cops show up.. shoot at you and miss and kill an innocent bystander YOU could be charged with the bystanders murder.

She was the getaway driver.. she was involved in a felony act and somebody died.. MURDER!!
