Two robbers planned to commit armed robberies targeting older victims. However, when the time came to actually commit the robbery, one of the robbers, thinking that the potential victim looked too much like his grandmother, backed out and told his cohort that he was going home. The second robber went ahead with the plan and robbed the elderly victim, who died of a heart attack due to the stress of the robbery. The second robber was arrested and implicated the first robber.

Answer:

The first robber is guilty of conspiracy but not murder

Step-by-step explanation:

The first rubber is guilty of conspiring with the other rubber to steal from this woman. But after he gave up plans of carrying out the action he is not guilty for her murder.

We can see that after he gave up the plans he walked away and was not present at the scene where the other Robber went to the woman. so her death is not connected to him.
