When a murder is committed by several persons in furtherance of the common intention of all, each of such persons is liable for the murder in the same manner as if it were committed by him alone. Under this principle, the persons who have not actually taken part in committing the murder, are considered as guilty of murder by construction of law, provided that act was committed by the others in furtherance of the common intention.
Murder is a the intentional and legally indefensible killing of one human being by another. Killing is not murder if it is inadvertent, accidental, in pursuance of a legal duty during military operations carried on according to the laws of war, in self-defense or defense of some one whom it is a duty to protect, or for any other specific reason listed in a statute.
