Stewart has been charged with murder for his role in the botched break-in. Sarah McKinley Now this is (unlike the case of the burglar in Wales) a situation where though I entirely support what the woman did and I also believe that the surviving burglar should be charged with robbery I totally disagree with charging him with murder (first degree or other). If I was able to make the laws I would rule that Sarah had carried out a justified homicide in self-defence and that the burglar should be charged for robbery. Since it is totally nonsensical to charge the burglar with murder that charge needs to be dropped and the insane and immoral law that allows him to be charged with it should be dropped from the statute books.

It makes no sense because you need intention for a murder to be committed surely?

Well, Toby, since it's a simple FACT that he DIDN'T kill anyone it's completely immoral to charge him with murder. It would be marginally more logical (though totally crazy) to charge the householder who shot his accomplice with murder! The law is pretty clear: for an act to be murder it has to fulfil various conditions. Mens rea (a guilty mind) Intent (NOT the same thing as motive which is a confusion that some people often have). Now it was clearly NOT the burglar's intention to kill his accomplice; he clearly had a guilty mind in terms of the burglary but NOT in terms of the killing. Therefore he can't be found guilty of murder (except in the type of 'legal system' you find in Korea, China, and similar Third World dictatorships.
