During a bank robbery, one of the robbers shoots and kills one of the bank clerks. Not

being involved in the actual murder or robbery, would the get-away driver get charged
with murder? If so, what kind?

Answer:

Yes. (Sort of)

Step-by-step explanation:

In Illinois at least. Probably Depends on the state. But here is a exerpt from a IL Law website: "Because Under this rule, people can be—and often are—convicted of first-degree murder in scenarios where a death is unintentional or is caused by another person, all in the commission of a different type of crime. That type of crime is defined as a “forcible felony.”
