yes
some states, like Florida, actually have the law correct now
I am pretty sure that the same law applies in TX, AL & GA - probably in a lot more states as well
I'm 10000% in favor of armed self defense, but its dumb to charge anyone with murder in this case.
I understand the desire to dissuade people from crime, but its nonsensical to charge someone with a murder you know they didn't commit.
Everyone knows its not a murder.

I disagree
the way the law reads, if someone dies while you are committing a felony, you get charged with murder
it adds to the punitive nature of the law and serves as a deterrent

Would the death have happened if the felony had not been committed? That is the reason for the felony murder rule. If someone dies during a felony you are committing, you are responsible for that death

Totally disagree. Their decision to commit a criminal offense directly led to the death of their accomplice. That's murder.

But, they do the same thing if 3 people carrying guns rob a bank and one of them shoots the teller.
All three get charged.
I'm not a lawyer so I don't know the specific legal term for the concept, but it exists.
