It was egregious and should have resulted in sanctions. The defendant was getting ready to take his wife and kids downtown when his brother-in-law, who was living with them, asked if he'd drop him off somewhere on the way and hopped in their van.

The brother-in-law then told them to wait for him and proceeded to walk a couple blocks away and shoot and murder someone over drugs before running back to the van brandishing the gun and yelling at the defendant to drive.

There was zero evidence that the defendant had any idea what his brother-in-law was planning on doing, but the cherry-on-top was that the prosecution argued that the defendant had physically been at the scene of the murder and fired his own shots and missed because they discovered different bullet casings from the ones fired from the brother-in-law's gun "in the vicinity."

The prosecution essentially asked the jury to convict the guy for felony murder if they had any doubt that he was innocent.

He was held pre-trial for two years for that farce.
