Iowa Supreme Court upholds passenger accomplice liability

In Iowa Orlando Rodriguez pumped the gas and his brother Santos waited behind the wheel of his SUV. They planned to steal the gas. Santos sped off as Orlando hopped into the truck. Both had been smoking dope. The SUV ran over and killed Bruce Mundy.
Orlando Rodriguez was convicted of vehicular homicide by recklessness as an accomplice.
Ironically Santos had been found incompetent to stand trial due to brain damage.
