Automatically? No, almost nothing but enhancements are automatic.

What I hear you saying it is not just possible but probable.

Then I don't know what I can say more clearly. If they convict Mangione, and the real killer confesses, they can convict the real killer, too. They wouldn't even have to free Mangione to do it.

They can't in this case.

In your example they essentially used the same basis as felony murder (which I don't agree with but whatever) in that they do not know who did pulled the trigger and made the enhancements threat but there's no argument both were there.

In this case there's only one person there during the shooting and that's on video, it physically and logically could not be two people and therefore two convictions are unlikely to hold.
