Editorial from the #DemingHeadlight on #felonymurder:

"...felony murder has been used as a net to convict and confine people peripherally involved in fatal crimes throughout the United States. A task force created by the Minnesota legislature recently found that charges of aiding and abetting felony murder disproportionately targeted Black and Brown defendants, as well as younger people: 63 percent of them under the age of 25 and 9 percent under 18."

LaKeith Smith is finally being resentenced. But he’ll face the same Alabama judge who sent him to prison for felony murder when cops killed his friend.
