Original Note:
Lakeith Smith wasn't sentenced to 65 years in prison simply for burglary. The sentence was mainly due to the death of A’Donte Washington who was shot and killed by the police during the felony. Smith was held legally responsible for death under the state’s accomplice law. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/apr/15/alabama-accomplice-law-lakeith-smith
