Or are you suggesting if 5 people shoot a person and kill him only one can be charged with murder?  |
We don't charge groups, we charge individuals. That's why muder can be difficult to get a conviction for when a group was involved.
Using your example, the killing shot would have to be proven.
For instance, 4 shoot someone in the bum, 1 shoots them in the head.
Should the 4 that aimed for the bum be convicted of murder when their shots weren't fatal?
