If you guys think this is a travesty, look up felony murder. I think it's unconstitutional, and people have been sentenced to life because of it.
arson, robbery, burglary, kidnapping, sexual assault, or a class 3 felony sexual assault on a child
If somebody or a group of people are participating in these activities and somebody ends up dying, they should certainly be held liable for murder due to the reckless and malicious nature of the crimes being committed.
