When Ted and Sally commit a robbery and a person is killed, what are they both charged with?

When Ted and Sally commit a robbery and a person is killed, both can be charged with first degree murder due to the felony murder rule. This legal doctrine states that if a death occurs during the commission of a dangerous felony, such as robbery, all participants in that felony can be held responsible for any resulting deaths, regardless of intent.

In this scenario, even if Ted and Sally did not specifically intend to kill anyone during the robbery, the act of committing the robbery itself set into motion the events that led to the death. First degree murder typically involves premeditation or intent to kill, but in the context of felony murder, the intent to commit the robbery (a felony) is sufficient to charge them with first degree murder, as the death was a direct consequence of their criminal actions.
