@paulg @laurenkrisai @reason That's not what happened. Convicted for his intentional role in burglary. No sympathy.

@paulg@laurenkrisai@reason He admitted to police he knew his friends were going to use car for burglary. -
@paulg@laurenkrisai@reason Don't want to be responsible for violence committed by other burglars? Don't help the burglars. No injustice. -
@paulg@laurenkrisai@reason And if he had been willing to testify against the other burglar-murderers, he'd be free now. -

@laurenkrisai Not sure of your point. Clearly guilty, decided he'd prefer not to snitch, which makes him even more culpable. No sympathy. -
@tedfrank "snitching" does not decrease one's culpability. sent. should reflect actual role/crime, not whether they cooperate w prosecution. -
@laurenkrisai That's a fascinating opinion absent from history and economic theory of criminal punishment. - 1 more reply

@ChrisMarkl@paulg Except that it isn't (in article at least). If test is simply "No car, no crime", Chevy should be convicted of murder too -
-
@ChrisMarkl@paulg From the article, sounds like that test was unmet. (I know nothing of this case beyond that article, though). -
