From the article:
"The Democratic delegate behind the bill objects to this because anyone under the age of 25 has not had their brain fully develop. How would a 23-year-old know that participating in a violent crime such as robbery could lead to someone dying? They are basically children."
And yet these same people want to lower the voting age.
I'm guessing they're talking about the "felony murder rule," which allows someone to be charged with murder if they were involved in a felony that resulted in a death, even if they didn't participate in the actual killing. F'rinstance, if a group robs a bank and one of them kills a guard, all of them could be charged with murder under the felony murder rule.Felony murder?
