Definition of felony murder

Felony murder is a type of murder that occurs during the commission of a dangerous felony, such as rape, kidnapping, robbery, burglary, or arson.

For example, if someone is robbing a bank and accidentally kills a security guard, they can be charged with felony murder.

This type of murder is different from other types of murder because the intent to kill is not necessary. The person committing the felony is held responsible for any deaths that occur during the commission of the crime.
