2. If her phone had a kill switch wouldn't she still be dead

I'm confused here. Yes I support a way for people to brick their phones after lost or stolen but I don't think it will reduce crimes like this.

How does the criminal even know your phone or carrier supports this? If its a robbery for drug money the phone will change hands in less than a hour in many cases for $20 or so.

Yes her death is tragic but to think criminals will use critical thinking skills before committing an implies crime is crazy
