I don't think anyone has claimed he was just an innocent bystander.

There are some that seem to be implying this.

The issue is using the death penalty in a case where the convicted didn't pull the trigger, or even fire a weapon.

Charles Manson never killed anyone. He was convicted of multiple murders, and sentenced to death, without ever "pulling the trigger". The only reason he was spared is because CA commuted all death sentences at one time.

Why? If he didn't pull the trigger...

You can't be serious? Just because someone is guilty of a crime doesn't mean it is worthy of a death sentence

Because there's a difference in a life sentence and the death penalty. If we're going to have the death penalty, it should be reserved for clear cut cases of heinous acts. I don't think from what I've read in this case there is enough justification to kill this convict, nor really enough evidence he was as involved in the killings as the state claims, but I wouldn't argue against a life sentence for his involvement.
