We're going to dive straight in with our

00:06

main story this week, which concerns

00:07

murder. You know the thing, the thing

00:09

that cats are constantly plotting. Cats

00:12

only want two things. Fancy feast

00:14

chicken pate and the slow, painful death

00:16

of their enemies. Murder is also in a

00:19

sense what this singer did to the

00:21

national anthem last year during an

00:22

election debate for third party

00:24

candidates.

00:29

I it up. Can I go back? Can I go

00:31

back, please?

00:33

[laughter]

00:37

>> I got too nervous.

00:43

That flag still there.

00:48

Oh, say does that star? [singing]

00:59

>> Excellent. Rest in peace to the national

01:01

anthem. Now, was that tough to watch?

01:04

Yes, it was. But does the fact that Jill

01:05

Stein had to stand there listening to it

01:07

make it a little better? Abs

01:10

loop. Now, specifically, this story

01:12

concerns something called felony murder,

01:15

which I know sounds redundant. After

01:17

all, aren't all murders technically

01:19

felonies? But it's a particular type of

01:21

charge, as this local news segment chose

01:23

to explain with some odd framing.

01:25

>> Felony murder is not the pre-planned

01:28

made for TV murder you might be

01:30

thinking. So,

01:34

WTF is felony murder. Well, felony

01:36

murder allows anyone involved in a

01:38

dangerous crime to be charged with

01:40

murder if someone is killed during that

01:43

crime. So, even if the person didn't

01:45

actually kill someone, they can still

01:46

get charged. So, let's say you're the

01:48

getaway car driver for a bank robbery

01:50

and your accomplice panics and kills the

01:53

bank teller, you can be charged with

01:56

murder without even stepping into the

01:59

bank building or having a gun or pulling

02:00

the trigger.

02:01

>> That is honestly a pretty good

02:03

explanation, albeit with a very

02:05

distracting intro.

02:09

What is that? You're talking about a

02:12

murder charge here. Why go with wacky

02:14

graphics and music that sound like a

02:16

circus clown's alarm clock? Now, if

02:18

you're talking about something boring

02:19

like escrow, sure, goof it up to the

02:21

max. But not if the subject is serious.

02:23

The last thing any viewer wants to see

02:25

is that graphic, followed by a reporter

02:27

saying, "So, WTF is the age of consent."

02:30

But to reiterate, felony murder is

02:34

basically a felony plus a death equals a

02:37

murder charge. even if you didn't intend

02:38

to kill anyone and even if you are not

02:41

the one who did the killing. And as

02:42

you'll see, these charges can go way

02:45

further than just getaway drivers in

02:47

bank robberies. Because crucially, you

02:49

don't have to be an active participant

02:51

in a killing to get charged with felony

02:53

murder. You don't even have to be

02:54

anywhere near it. Take what happened

02:56

when these four men broke into a house

02:58

in Florida to steal a safe. When someone

03:00

there tried to stop them, one of them

03:01

beat her to death. under felony murder.

03:04

All four were charged with her killing

03:06

as well as this guy. And I'll let him

03:08

explain why

03:09

>> I'm in prison because I loaned my keys

03:12

to my roommate.

03:14

>> It was 2003, the morning after a party

03:16

at his house in Pensacola.

03:18

>> He said, "Can I borrow your keys to your

03:20

car?" And I said, "Sure."

03:21

>> He went back to sleep. Holly says when

03:23

he woke up and his car wasn't back, he

03:26

called his roommate who said they were

03:28

about to break in. If I would really

03:29

have taken it serious, I would have

03:31

called the police.

03:34

>> But under Florida's felony murder rule,

03:36

Holly [music] was just as responsible as

03:38

the man who killed Snyder. Holly, like

03:41

the other four men, was sentenced to

03:43

life without parole.

03:45

>> Yeah, he was sentenced to life for a

03:48

murder that took place over a mile away

03:50

that he didn't know was going to happen

03:52

and where his involvement was limited to

03:53

lending his car for the burglary. It's

03:56

enough to make you ask, "What the fuck?"

03:59

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Sorry.

04:00

No, no, no, no. I I actually don't need

04:02

those graphics. I'm an adult being

04:04

upset, not a clown juggling bowling

04:06

pins. And the thing about felony murder

04:09

is it's actually much easier for a

04:10

prosecutor to obtain a conviction under

04:12

it than under a standard first-degree

04:14

murder charge where they have to prove

04:16

the defendant intended to kill. Because

04:18

under felony murder, all they have to

04:20

prove is someone committed or aided in a
