Fictional trial?
In a 2008 movie titled 'Lazarus Project" three men make a robbery. Police come and there is a shooting. Two thieves and one cop are killed. The third thief is sentenced to death and executed two years later.
My question: it is possible that the third thief has been sentenced to the death penalty even if he didn't touch any weapon? Even if they were in Texas?
PS
I live in Italy and I don't know almost anything about death penalty in the US

Yes. In every US jurisdiction of which I'm aware, there's a "predicate felony" law for first degree murder. That means if someone dies in the course of a felony you're committing, you're on the hook for the murder.

answer -- yes. if you're part of the crime, you get the whole result, legally speaking.
