Who Knew Felony Murder Was a Thing in California

I didn't. I would have thought they believed it was unfair to hold a person responsible for the completely foreseeable consequences of their actions. Suspected burglar gets 9 years over Oakland homeowner killing his friend

Friend. Accomplice. It is all a matter of perspective, and the perspective of Professional Journalists is a bit skewed from reality.

David Washington, 39, pleaded no contest to voluntary manslaughter in the March 2024 shooting death of 39-year-old Charles Calloway. Police said Calloway was killed by the resident of a home on the 1300 block of 102nd Avenue in East Oakland but Washington was charged with murder under the legal theory that he and Calloway forced the man to use lethal force in self-defense.

The Professional Journalists (so called) can't even say what the legal theory is. It is that if you commit a felony, and someone dies as a direct result of that crime, then you are responsible for that outcome. It falls under the heading of personal responsibility. Something that is completely foreign to journalists and the Left, but I repeat myself.

Was this guy a saint? No. But if you click thru, you will see that he was clearly in the wrong.

And I suppose it needs mentioning, that the guy who died, did so as a result of armed self-defense.

I'm sure that the Left will move to make this go away in the future, because being held responsible for your actions is against everything the Left believes.
