Description
The felony-murder rule declares that if a death occurs during the commission of a felony, all persons involved in the felony will be held culpable for the death. The rule makes every person equally culpable for the death, regardless of his or her mental state and degree of involvement during the crime. Drawing on theories of punishment and scholarship on culpability, I argue that the felony-murder rule needs to be modified. Each person involved in the crime should not be held accountable for the actions of another, but should only be held responsible and culpable for their own intended actions.
