Felony Murder in Mississippi

This story is a week old, but worth taking a look at. Teen charged after MS homeowners shoot 2 men during robbery | Biloxi Sun Herald

And while 17-years-old does qualify as a "teen," I think there is a good chance that he will be charged as an adult. But then journalists love to paint the criminals as the victims.

One interesting note is that Lorenzo Stennis, 21, of Pascagoula was arrested January relating to a shooting in Gulf Port, MS that left several vehicles hit with bullets. He was not held in jail. Now he is dead. So how is that social justice working out?

On Monday night [May 13th], Gulfport PD officers arrived at a residence of 27th Street in response to reports of a shooting. They found [Temi] Lawal on the ground, dead of an apparent gunshot wound. They also learned that Stennis had been taken to a local hospital with multiple gunshot wounds, where he later died.

And in a move that will have the Social Justice Warriors screaming that "Felony Murder is Unfair," because you shouldn't be held accountable for the completely foreseeable consequences of your actions.

Lawrence Corley IV, 17, of Gautier is charged with two counts of capital murder.

Someone died while you were committing a felony. In Mississippi that is apparently known as capital murder, though most of us non-lawyers just think of it as felony murder.

The homeowners who defended themselves won't be charged, because self defense is a human right, and it also your legal right in Mississippi.
