So if all 5 fired off a number of shots, any of which could have been fatal and it's impossible to determine which one was the actual killing shot none of them should be charged with murder?
If thats what you think you should apply for a job with the CPS.
Thats why groups of people are charged together with the same crime. They are acting together for a common illegal purpose.
In armed robberies do you think the only person charged should be the one who takes physical possesion of the money?
