When someone dies shoveling snow after a blizzard, the victim is counted as a casaulty of the storm. So why wouldn't this maggot be charged with conspiracy and murder if the guy died subsequent to the assault?

This is when comics aren't any fun anymore. There is a statute in our little burg that makes purchasing collections by dealers (brick and mortar) illegal just because this kind of krap happened during the speculating era's (thank God no one died), but enough burglaries occurred that the locals shut down the practice.

They will probably both be charged with murder, that's what happens when someone dies during the commission of a felony.

Correct, strange, but true. Considering it only afffects one person, the only comic store in town, the odds of them getting the statue overturned is pretty slim. During the early 90's not only were comics heavily collected, but the meth problem here was out of control which led to a inordinant amount of burglaries by meth-heads looking for quick cash. Unfortunatly, comic collections were quickly targeted by the dopers, and the statute was passed.
