Felony murder, also known as the felony murder rule, is a legal doctrine that makes a person liable for murder if someone dies during the commission of a felony, even if the person didn’t intend to kill anyone.
In the first year following the January 6th Capitol riot, 391 individuals were charged with felonies, while 325 were charged with misdemeanors. Among those who pleaded guilty, 32% (327) were charged with felonies, and 68% (682) with misdemeanors. More than 1,500 individuals have been charged with federal crimes related to the riot, with many receiving sentences, including incarceration, probation, or fines.
My dad just had surgery to clear a massive DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis)… and it seems to be semi-hereditary for my family so I listened to the doctor pretty closely. If he had exerted himself in any way that broke off even a little bit of the clot, he would have died… Would it be the injuries fault or the clots fault?
Anyone who solely blames an injury that dislodges the clot is missing the forest for the trees. In my dad’s case, it was a ticking time bomb for literally anything to dislodge it. Could have been as simple as walking that could have done it. They immobilized his leg immediately. In this case, for an injury the day prior… to be the dislodge event is a bit odd. It would have been pretty immediate from my understanding, it’s likely the injury loosened it, and some other inane event dislodged it completely. The clot already existed… and many other events could have triggered it to dislodge.
If this is the only individual that can be used as the example… I’m not onboard personally.
that’s not murder

Felonies + death during felonies = felony murder
the stroke didn’t happen during the supposed felony. and please refer to my first comment: the laws are bullshit.

Says who?
if you think that’s murder, we can’t agree on what murder is.

Seems to fit the definition to me. It was unlawful, unjust, and killed him.
but no one killed him. he died from a stroke, and the clot wasn’t caused by injury.
