Getaway driver arrested for murder.

That's what I assumed would be the case, I mean, someone forcing their way into your home uninvited is surely an "invasion" of sorts, lol. Either way, it happens, and I for one could care less if all of the culprits are shot dead at the scene or strung up from the nearest flagpole the morning after.

Court Documents Give Details Leading Up To Wagoner County Shooting

She (15 year old girl riding in backseat) said the three came out, put the stolen items in the trunk of Rodriguez's car and they all left the residence together in her car.

But, 10-15 minutes later, Rodriguez drove them back to the house because she told Cook, Redfearn and Woodruff that they didn't get enough stuff from the house to help her pay her rent, the girl said.

Rodriguez then parked in the driveway and told them to break into the main residence and steal more items, the girl said in the affidavit...

The WCSO also found and returned several items taken from the Peters, including a Playstation 3, Sony speakers, a Coleman cooler and bottles of liquor...

Why wouldn't it? She was there all the time they were loading the car she was in with the getaway driver.

On what grounds would this be considered an innocent bystander?

Read the link again slowly for comprehension. Pay close attention to this part...


In a search warrant affidavit filed by Wagoner County Deputy Sheriff Danny Elliott, he said the girl told them she was in the car because she went along for the ride but "did not understand what was going on until it happened."

Perhaps she did know, but "being in the car" does not implicate her by itself.

If I picked up my niece from school, and then decided to rob a store, she isn't an accomplice simply because she was in the car.

True...but it is worth an investigation, at the least.

I don't mean to say that some Uber driver who unwittingly drove someone to a robbery should be charged, especially if they became the getaway driver. But someone who knowingly drove people to a crime scene, and was part of the plan...that's another matter.

Of course.

That statue creeps me out. Are you ever going to change it? It's scary.

You mean my avatar? As much as I like mocking Nathen Bedford Forrest, I have been considering a switch. Most likely to a Prinny from the Disgaea game series.

Or did you mean "statute"? That...likely will not happen.

Every time I see it I think it looks like some crazy deranged Muppet that escaped the creature shop and no one bothered to go looking for it.

I'm, not hung up on it. No-one answered the first time and I'm intrigued.


If there was a murder, there has to be a murderer. Is it the case, therefore, that the homeowner committed murder and is pardoned for it?

Or was there no murder at all? In which case how can one be an accessory to a crime that never happened?

SIAP, a little late to the party.

In law, murder is a term for a level of criminal culpability for the act of homicide - the killing of one human being by another. That is, murder is a subset of homicide in which specific criminal elements apply.

The occupant's acts presumably satisfy them elements for justified homicide, thus they are not murder. The accomplice's acts allegedly satisfy the elements for murder - another type of homicide.

Accepting the state's version arguendo, the intruders were murdered but the occupant who shot them did not murder them - their actions would be termed (presumably) justified homicide.
