Watching Dr. Phil, the story is about four boys, 16 and 17 years old that
decided to rob a vacant home. When they got into the home, it turns out
the owner was home and came out with his gun. The home owner shot and
killed one of the boys. Because of the murder* committed during the
commission of a crime the three living boys were convicted of a murder
and each sentenced to 50 years.

I'm usually pretty hard on people that don't know what's theirs and
what's not, but 50 years for a 16 year old is pretty tough.




*not sure why they keep calling it a murder.

If it is like California, if a murder is committed during a felony, all are
guilty of murder, not just the one who did the actual killing. Basically
all are guilty of the same crime.
