Question
For this discussion, let's consider the robbery of a bank. Four people are involved, and two go inside. The third keeps the getaway car running and ready, and the fourth backed out of the plan altogether and is not present when the robbery takes place. However, he is the mastermind who helped organize and plan this robbery.
When the robbers enter the bank, a security guard shoots and kills one robber, and the other robber then shoots and kills the security guard. The bank president pulls a gun and attempts to shoot the remaining robber, but misses and hits a teller instead. The teller does not survive.
So then, we have much to consider here. Let's break that down:
What would the two robbers be charged with? (Yes, I see the twist there) :)
What would the robber in the car be charged with, and why?
What would the robber who backed out be charged with, if anything, and why?
Who would be charged with the death of the teller?
Let's think about each of the potential charges this week, and about why our system is set up in this way.
