Quote: What a waste of taxpayer money. If what his attorney says is true, the MOST they can charge him with is participating in an unlawful gathering.
Monte
Not true Monte. He was a participant in a knowingly illegal activity that caused the death of someone. Same as the passenger going along on the ride of a known robbery and someone gets killed. Even though that person may have stayed in the vehicle, that person will also be charged with murder.
But most likely, he will plead it down to something lesser.
So was EVERYBODY else that attended. They going to charge everyone in the crowd with murder. Illegal street racing is NOT a felony offence. This would be like you are your buddy out base jumping(while is illegal). If he died, would YOU be charged with murder?
