They won't do that again.

Felony murder doesn't require intent, only that you were there to commit a felony when someone died as a result of the felony.
Sentence will depend on state. If she doesn't want to spend the rest of her life behind bars she will need a good lawyer and a plea deal.

No plea deal - pointless - she can't point the finger at the other crims - they're dead ..

She could say they said they were working late shift as locksmiths and off to play ball

Not unheard of just to lower the cost to the state.

Murder trials and their appeals are expensive. Difficult to appeal a guilty plea.

I wondered about Oklahoma and the death penalty, Oklahoma has the highest number of executions in the USA. They use the needle.

Since the manufacturer of the drug they used has banned export to the US of A, the various states are running into trouble finding an appropriate cocktail to use as a replacement. There have been some very painful executions.

Apparently the lady is still locked up but has said, "We got greedy." The team had already burgled the garage but she knew the people had money and there was nice stuff in the house so she took the lads back later in the day for another visit.

There has been a court appearance. The woman pleaded not guilty to three charges of murder in the first degree, one charge of buglary in the first degree and one charge of burglary in the second degree. No plea deal was offered.

The shooter will not face charges.

If this was in NZ he would be charged with multiple counts of murder and funds will be raised for the burglars families. Stuff.co.nz will have "He was a kind hearted sweet boy..." bullshit articles for days.

...there will be an outcry from the boomers about how video games cause violence and that if he'd had the cane at school he wouldn't have shot the people in his house.

If you run over and kill someone under DUI four times over the limit, or rob a dairy with a firearm you get a slap on the wrist. But if you stab some tyres you go to jail for almost two years..?!?! Seriously what the fuck?
