  During an attempted hold-up of his grocery store, owner Ali Aboud pulls a gun from under the counter and fires at the robber, Lauren Jones. The bullet misses Jones but hits and kills Aboud’s wife, Rachel. Jones is arrested at the scene of the robbery and works out a plea deal with the State in return for his testimony.

  The State alleges defendant John Burns planned the grocery store robbery, took Jones to the store in what was to be the getaway car, but fled, leaving Jones inside, when he heard a gunshot. Burns faces two felony counts: armed robbery for his alleged participation in the holdup and felony murder for Mrs. Aboud’s death.
