Reply to comment by Drando_HS in One of eight teen girls charged in Toronto stabbing death granted bail by liquid_deflation

Yea. Without seeing the actual knife it's hard to know for sure, but most of them aren't crew-operated.

With 8 people charged there has got to be varying levels of culpability among them.

Unless this is a Caesar situation, I mean....

There were 60 senators in the conspiracy but Caesar died of 23 stab wounds.

In the uk we have (had?) joint venture. If you were at the murder, even if you didn't hold the knife, you were a murderer. In this case it looks like they are all co-conspirators to murder/manslaughter at least.

Same in the US, but like... if you were there and ran away afraid, but quickly decided that you should go to the police... or if you planned the murder with the person who did the actual stabbing... or if you were coerced into participating...

Even if many of these folks conspired to murder it wouldn't surprise me if when tried separately the sentencing works out different based on their level of involvement and their behavior before during and after.
