A pretty dubious legal basis by a California DA

The basis to let the suspect off the “murder” hook is that (legally) the deceased gas station victim was shooting at the would be robbers as they were fleeing. This would mean that his action wasn’t covered by “self defense” (which is true enough) but it does not mean that the defendant and the other would be robber weren’t FLEEING from their attempted robbery. In fact, they were

In the state of California, a heavily modified version of the common law felony murder rule is codified in California Penal Code § 189.[1]

Circumstances …​

…. felony murder can only be prosecuted in certain specific circumstances if at least one of these is true:

• The defendant directly killed a person.
• The defendant, with the intent to have the victim killed, "aided, abetted, counseled, commanded, induced, solicited, requested, or assisted" the actual killer.[3]
• The defendant was a major participant in the underlying felony and acted with reckless indifference to human life.[4]
• The victim was a peace officer who was killed while in the course of the peace officer’s duties, where the defendant knew or reasonably should have known that the victim was a peace officer engaged in the performance of their duties,

during the commission, attempted commission, or flight of a inherently dangerous felony.

Therefore, it is mystifying that the prosecutor is apparently now just double-talking the public.

The felony murder rule isn’t dependent upon the victim’s use of self defense — or not. This is some shady California “justice.”

Yeah,
I read that. California, the "Kind to Criminals" state.
You'd think most Californiams have a death wish since they keep electing these assclowns who do this.

I see both sides. Still, if someone is brazen and callous enough to brandish a weapon in commission of a forced felony, I say they gave up ALL rights and privileges to live until AT LEAST out of view and a mile away. They are just as likely to come back and finish you off.
Let's say they DID leave, and just came rushing back in their vehicle at closing time and jumped out their vehicle looking crazed coming at you.
According to these DA's, you'd have to wait until they have another gun to your head before you had any right to self defense. Stupid.

It's like you're supposed to remain calm and think clearly......
After someone has just put a gun to your head and threatened to take your life over a pack of cigarettes !!
And they're most likely not telling you calmly and nicely or talking in a soothing manner....

If there was a God, every DA that made that call would be robbed at gunpoint, twice a week.
