Answer: He was a participant in a felony during which someone died. That means the felony murder rule applies. Felony murder is a capital crime.
Answer: They made a deal with Darby. Darby testified saying Ames was the one who killed the wife and daughter in order to get a reduced sentence. Since Shelton's testimony was inadmissible because he blacked out it was Darby's word again Ames'.
