I don’t think she was any kind of leader, just the first one through the window.

Another thing, there have been cases where criminals have been shot dead by police, and their partners in crime have been convicted of felony murder. Why hasn’t this happened here? The people who broke the glass, and the people who helped raise Ashli Babbitt to climb through the window were all participants in a crime where someone died. Why haven’t they been charged with her murder?
