caught up in a situation where someone with them commits a murder and charging the innocent person is a travesty of justice. This does not sound like one of those cases.
She joined a criminal outfit whose purpose was an armed war with the US government, using tactics like robbing banks & killing cops.
She then joined the Black Liberation Army, a loosely-knit offshoot of the Black Panthers which led an armed struggle against the U.S. government through tactics such as holding up banks and killing police officers and drug dealers.
Between 1971 and 1973, she was charged with several crimes and was the subject of a multi-state manhunt.
...
Between 1973 and 1977, she was charged with murder, attempted murder, armed robbery, bank robbery, and kidnapping in relation to the shootout and six other incidents.
...
In 1977, she was convicted of the murder of Foerster (under New Jersey law the prosecution did not need to prove that Shakur fired the shots that killed either Foerster or Zayd Shakur) and of seven other felonies related to the shootout, in a trial her supporters argue was unfair.
Even if you threw out the murder conviction she should have had a very long sentence.
