I do recall hearing about either precedent or laws relating to being involved in a crime where if someone is killed all involved get charged with the murder regardless of who actually committed it, so that could be the reasoning here.

Though I don't recall any of the specifics.

Thats exactly what they are talking about, felony murder.

They are likely saying that there are solid arguments both ways on it though.
