We're going to dive straight in with our
main story this week, which concerns
murder. You know the thing, the thing
that cats are constantly plotting. Cats
only want two things. Fancy feast
chicken pate and the slow, painful death
of their enemies. Murder is also in a
sense what this singer did to the
national anthem last year during an
election debate for third party
candidates.
I it up. Can I go back? Can I go
back, please?
[laughter]
>> I got too nervous.
That flag still there.
Oh, say does that star? [singing]
>> Excellent. Rest in peace to the national
anthem. Now, was that tough to watch?
Yes, it was. But does the fact that Jill
Stein had to stand there listening to it
make it a little better? Abs
loop. Now, specifically, this story
concerns something called felony murder,
which I know sounds redundant. After
all, aren't all murders technically
felonies? But it's a particular type of
charge, as this local news segment chose
to explain with some odd framing.
>> Felony murder is not the pre-planned
made for TV murder you might be
thinking. So,
WTF is felony murder. Well, felony
murder allows anyone involved in a
dangerous crime to be charged with
murder if someone is killed during that
crime. So, even if the person didn't
actually kill someone, they can still
get charged. So, let's say you're the
getaway car driver for a bank robbery
and your accomplice panics and kills the
bank teller, you can be charged with
murder without even stepping into the
bank building or having a gun or pulling
the trigger.
>> That is honestly a pretty good
explanation, albeit with a very
distracting intro.
What is that? You're talking about a
murder charge here. Why go with wacky
graphics and music that sound like a
circus clown's alarm clock? Now, if
you're talking about something boring
like escrow, sure, goof it up to the
max. But not if the subject is serious.
The last thing any viewer wants to see
is that graphic, followed by a reporter
saying, "So, WTF is the age of consent."
But to reiterate, felony murder is
basically a felony plus a death equals a
murder charge. even if you didn't intend
to kill anyone and even if you are not
the one who did the killing. And as
you'll see, these charges can go way
further than just getaway drivers in
bank robberies. Because crucially, you
don't have to be an active participant
in a killing to get charged with felony
murder. You don't even have to be
anywhere near it. Take what happened
when these four men broke into a house
in Florida to steal a safe. When someone
there tried to stop them, one of them
beat her to death. under felony murder.
All four were charged with her killing
as well as this guy. And I'll let him
explain why
>> I'm in prison because I loaned my keys
to my roommate.
>> It was 2003, the morning after a party
at his house in Pensacola.
>> He said, "Can I borrow your keys to your
car?" And I said, "Sure."
>> He went back to sleep. Holly says when
he woke up and his car wasn't back, he
called his roommate who said they were
about to break in. If I would really
have taken it serious, I would have
called the police.
>> But under Florida's felony murder rule,
Holly [music] was just as responsible as
the man who killed Snyder. Holly, like
the other four men, was sentenced to
life without parole.
>> Yeah, he was sentenced to life for a
murder that took place over a mile away
that he didn't know was going to happen
and where his involvement was limited to
lending his car for the burglary. It's
enough to make you ask, "What the fuck?"
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Sorry.
No, no, no, no. I I actually don't need
those graphics. I'm an adult being
upset, not a clown juggling bowling
pins. And the thing about felony murder
is it's actually much easier for a
prosecutor to obtain a conviction under
it than under a standard first-degree
murder charge where they have to prove
the defendant intended to kill. Because
under felony murder, all they have to
prove is someone committed or aided in a
