Felony murder rule

The rule of felony murder is a legal doctrine in some common law jurisdictions that broadens the crime of murder: when someone is killed (regardless of intent to kill) in the commission of a dangerous or enumerated crime (called a felony in some jurisdictions), the offender, and also the offender's accomplices or co-conspirators, may be found guilty of murder.[1]

The concept of felony murder originates in the rule of transferred intent, which is older than the limit of legal memory: is a derivative of the Roman law[2] figure: "qui in re illicita versatur, tenetur etiam pro casu",[3] even when "minus voluit delinquere et plus deliquit:[4] crime "praeter intentionem".[5]

In its original form, the malicious intent inherent in the commission of any crime, however trivial, was considered to apply to any consequences of that crime regardless of intent. [6]
