And she didn't even get a dime or a beer out of the whole thing.


Boo F'n hoo. Don't expect me to feel sorry for her stupidity.


Not at all. It's the risk you run.

Here's another scenario. The person, who is the getaway driver in a robbery attempt is fleeing from the scene, at which time a drunk driver, passed out behind the wheel, runs a red light and smashes into the getaway car, killing himself.

The getaway driver may then be charged with felony murder.


Such twists and turns in the law fully illustrate why when accused of a crime one definitely needs a lawyer despite any protestations of innocence.
