Setting aside the death penalty aspect, this case is not about association - it's about explicit participation in a felony that resulted in the death of an innocent victim.
Doesn't require a psychic to determine that committing a robbery with someone whom you know to own and carry a firearm could result in a death.
- detaro 10y agoFrom the article, the "explicit participation" isn't all that clear, and not required to be proven by the prosecution? (but it's not purely association either)
- vacri 10y ago> with someone whom you know to own and carry a firearm could result in a death In modern Texas with its 'carry' laws, this could be anyone. Besides, given the gun lobby rhetoric, 'guns don't kill people', so a death is 'just as likely' with a knife or any other tool to hand - even stuff already in the shop. After all, if someone is intent on killing you, 'they're going to do it whether or not they have a gun'.
