Yes, I was wondering about that. Don't know the law in Costa Rica. If the police find the other two scumbags, I wonder if they will be charged in the death or if that is a law specific to the U.S. Seems like such a law could be a good tool for keeping a couple of lowlifes off the street.

Felony Murder statutes in many of our States are written broadly enough to hold accomplices liable even for the death of a fellow perp - not just the death of an innocent victim.
