IIRC there’s some situations where you’re considered responsible if anybody dies. So if you break into a house to steal something and the homeowner hears you, runs down the stairs, trips and breaks their neck it counts as if you murdered them.
It gets worse. One guy went to prison for felony murder because the police shot and killed his fellow burglar. Another got a life sentence without parole for lending his car keys to his roommate, who then used the car to commit a burglary where someone was killed. John Oliver did a segment on this not too long ago.

What. The. Fuck. I’m literally speechless.
And this is why you never never never snitch.
It’s like firing a cannon into a crowded building. Maybe it hits the person you’re aiming at, but how much collateral damage will you do?
