It's an old article and fuck The Guardian, but the guy actually got convicted and is currently serving 55 years for what is effectively just trespassing.

Sounds like he deserved it.

Under the felony murder rule, all participants of a felony can be charged with murder if a homicide occurs. This is true even if a participant isn't directly responsible for the death. For example, the driver of a getaway car can be charged with felony murder if his partner accidentally shoots someone while attempting to rob a bank. The purpose for the felony murder rule is to deter people from engaging in felonies knowing that they can be liable for the actions of their partners.

He should get a lower sentence. 55 is overkill. He is black for christs sake. He should appeal.
