    An Alabama prosecutor locked up four Black teenagers for a murder they didn’t commit. Now he’s trying a 14 and 15-year-old for capital murder and it’s not clear they pulled the trigger. This is possible under the felony murder doctrine.https://theappeal.org/alabama-prosecutor-locked-up-4-black-teens-for-a-murder-they-didnt-commit-now-hes-trying-2-more/#.XMMiwHSz3N0.twitter …

        The United States is alone in the world in pursuing two modes of prosecution. Sentencing children under the age of 18 to life sentences and giving life sentences for murder to people who never murdered anyone.https://theappeal.org/the-appeal-podcast-the-cruelty-of-felony-murder-laws/ …

        Darius Jacob Taylor wasn't even in the state of Pennsylvania when a robbery he was allegedly involved with ended in murder. But under the felony murder rule, he's charged with criminal homicide and faces life in prison.https://theappeal.org/pennsylvania-man-charged-with-homicide-wasnt-even-present-when-victim-was-killed/ …

        California recently amended its felony murder law. But the reform won't reach a man sentenced to death in a deadly robbery—even though he was never accused of firing a shot.https://theappeal.org/ive-made-my-share-of-wrongs-but-i-havent-killed-no-one/ …

        Michael Tirpak was 18 when a friend killed a man during a robbery. Despite not being at the scene, he was convicted under CA's felony murder rule & served 25 years in prison. Even once the rule was virtually eliminated, prosecutors opposed his release.https://theappeal.org/hundreds-stuck-in-prison-in-california-as-prosecutors-seek-to-block-new-law/#.XJjnAXqAtGJ.twitter …

        The case of Patrick Murphy, convicted under Texas' equivalent of the felony murder rule, garnered national attention when SCOTUS issued a stay of execution just before he was to be put to death because he was denied access to a Buddhist spiritual advisor.https://theappeal.org/texas-execution-patrick-murphy-law-of-parties/#.XJzYFd_0MBU.twitter …

        Arrest a pack of poor kids . Coerce until one breaks and admits to something they didn’t do . Toss them all in jail for most of their lives . Recipe has worked for years

        It really is a damned shame this is still going on! We have Black people looking at it on twitter but not caring to read at all! The sad truth is they can't reply or retweet but if a dog, cat, rat, or turtle get amused by a door stop it's 4000 tweets/likes. A sad situation!
