The 1st guy was charged with 2nd degree murder, 3rd gegree murder, and 2nd degree manslaughter. I think they are covering their bases. The fact that they said they should turn him to his side and the guy on his neck said no, might get them the 2nd degree murder.
I think it would send a very powerful message to the police if they get the other 3 on aiding and abetting. Don't stand by while one of your own kills someone.
