>who convicted of felony murder for killing two policemen
That seems improbable. Why would anyone be charged with felony murder if they killed someone? It seems like a contradiction in terms.
Edit: to be clear, it's easy to look up that yes, his parents were convicted of felony murder, and no, they didn't kill the police officers. That's how felony murder works, so I wonder if the comment above is preaching to people who think "felony" is an intensifier for "murder" or whether it's an honest mistake.
