Texas Plan to Execute a Man for a Murder He Didn't Commit

“Under the law of parties, if people conspire together to commit a felony (in this case, armed robbery), and one person commits an additional felony in furtherance of the first one that could have been anticipated, ‘all conspirators are guilty of the felony actually committed, though having no intent to commit it.’ In other states, a similar doctrine is known as felony murder.“
