2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. State v. Page · State v. MacK““As' might be expected there were several minor and insignificant discrepancies, in the separately given statements..- But only one major discrepancy was contained therein, it concerning which of the three accused struck the fatal blows. * * * Nevertheless,, this attempt to shift blame could not and did not (of itself) suggest antagonistic defenses, because under the murder-felony doctrine it is immaterial which of the accused actually administered ■ the beating. ■ Since the three were'together'in the perpetration of the robbery each was chargeable as a principal, regardless of whether he dealt the specific blows which caused the death.-'-LRS 14:24."'”
