The name of the offense is perhaps inapt. We distinguish murder from other forms of criminal death-causing; likewise we distinguish "committed a felony which caused a death" from murder, but still use the word "murder" in its name.
I think Eddie's point about "law school hypothetical shooting a gun he THOUGHT was loaded" is relevant if both intent AND effects match, then you've got a match ("duck typing" for crimes) you join a gang armed with a gun to threaten someone w murder unless he hands over wallet

intent? Take something that's not yours using the threat of murder. effect? Dead body. would this have happened minus your gang? no we have joint liability for apartment leases, why not for murder?
