Interesting that they didn't give the race of the person convicted here. Would kind of debunk the racism theory if it was a white robber.from the article said:However, in one notable case in Southern California in 1999, a man who robbed a family at gunpoint in their home was convicted of murder because a police officer pursuing him in a car chase slammed into another driver in an intersection, killing her.
The robbery victim had the pot legally (I thought that went away ), and these guys were there demanding pot (among other things).You missed the pertinent part of that:

"This man had no business killing these boys," Brown said. "They were shot in the back. They had fled."
