Explanation:

- Option 1: Is surprising. This option suggests that the decision was unexpected because one might argue that only the person who fired the gun should be considered guilty of murder.

- Option 2: Is justified. When a group forms with the intent to commit a crime, such as forcibly seizing land, and a murder occurs in that context, everyone involved can be held responsible. This is based on the principle of common intention under which all members of the group can be charged for actions that occur in pursuit of their shared goal.

- Option 3: Is not justified. This implies that the court's decision was incorrect. It argues that only the person who directly committed the murder should be held accountable, not the entire group.

- Option 4: Can’t say. This noncommittal option indicates uncertainty about the decision, possibly due to lack of context or evidence details.
