ONE of them might have had that intent. Unless they find evidence to the contrary on their phones, a genuine argument that they ALL shared that intent (and are therefore equally to blame) cannot be made.

That's not a convincing argument at all. People in America carry guns everywhere, in the name of self defence.

@sylerbo So true. What teenager would imagine that going to egg house would end up with being on trial for murder? (*Assuming, of course, that the phones don't prove premeditation). Lot's of teenagers play foolish pranks, or do risky stunts, never thinking it could end in disaster.

@rayray8687 Well, I think that is wrong. How could the others have known that one would suddenly shoot someone (if there wasn't a prior plan to do so?). One minute you think you are going to throw some eggs, the next you're guilty of shooting bullets - even if you didn't!

@sylerbo Exactly! Imagine being a teenager up to a foolish prank on someone, and then one of the people you're with just pulls out gun and shoots the person!

@rayray8687 They threw eggs at his house - not "lured" him from his house (which implies intent). Also, "the three" can't all pull the trigger at once.

@rayray8687 If the others went there solely to egg the house (a reasonably benign action similar to actions many teenagers have engaged in) and had no intention to shoot the victim, then there is no reasonable way they "should have known" that one of them would go back to the car, take out a gun, and shoot the victim. Case closed.
4
@rayray8687 Yes, but only ONE person pulled the trigger, and until there is proof either of the others knew that was intended, then they will likely only be found guilty of egging a building.

@rayray8687 Of course teenagers who've egged a house would run back to the car after a homeowner comes running out of it - nothing suspicious there. Also, once in the car, if one unexpectedly pulls out a gun and shoots the victim, the others are going to be so frightened that they want to get the heck away, lest they get the blame - nothing proving guilt there, either. It's just how a "reasonable" person would expect them to behave in such circumstances.

@rayray8687 And if no-one expected it to happen, that proves the others at least may be guilty of nothing other than egging a house.

@valerierodger You'll see.

@valerierodger You're assuming they "hung around," when in fact, he could have run out almost immediately upon noticing his house was being egged. So many foolish assumptions. Assumptions don't win murder cases.

@valerierodger Now you can know people's thoughts, and can read them from the future - WOW!
2
@darkguardian1314 On both sides.
2
@nybsbfan18 Exactly. Who knows?

@creativecorner2071 Oh! They "had to have known" what was going to happen, hey? As if everyone hasn't been blindsided by someone else's behaviour at some time! People marry people they are are sure they know well enough to trust, only for them to find out otherwise later. Besides, these are very young people, young enough to have not developed much judgement of human character yet. If the others are not proven to have known beforehand that one would shoot (intent), then they are only guilty of vandalism.

@davidsirmons My sentiments exactly; however, we shall see what the outcome will be.

@darkguardian1314 I agree!

@silencemeviolateme6076 I'm so pleased you can read minds and tell the future. You could make a fortune on the lottery, or in stocks.

Ah... the manipulative spider women thesis... I've heard that one before, somewhere... @qtown639
