Criminal Law : Accomplice Liability – Felony Murder – Sufficiency Of Evidence
Stephanie Maniscalco//April 18, 2018
Where defendant knew about his accomplice’s robbery plans, drove with him to the scene and agreed to serve as the lookout, the evidence showed that the defendant aided the accomplice in the scheme, and the defendant’s conduct after the robbery, during which the accomplice was shot and killed, also supported the conviction for second-degree felony murder based on accomplice liability.
Judgment is affirmed.
