That doesn't make it a reasonable law.<BR/><BR/>There's a cogent argument for manslaughter in the bank manager example -- the actions of the criminal contribute directly to the death. I don't see that here.<BR/><BR/>Is there misdemeanor murder? What if the officer had been rushing over to, say, break up a drunk high school party? Do we convict a bunch of teenagers for that?<BR/><BR/>I understand what the law is aiming at. It's far more logical than many of our laws. I'm simply unsure (not knowing how the law reads) if it should apply in this case.<BR/><BR/>Regardless, the guy shot a deputy.

Usually your felony has to have caused the death, but you don't have to have killed him. Say, you rob a bank and the bank manager has a heart attack. Hellooooooo, felony murder!Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15344649128973165027noreply@blogger.com
