Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today we’re exploring some complex aspects of criminal law that frequently appear on exams — the felony murder rule and causation in homicide cases. We have included an analysis of two hypothetical scenarios to illustrate these legal principles.
In this episode we discuss:
- Review of the felony murder rule
- Which felonies are considered inherently dangerous?
- The death of a co-felon rule
- Causation in homicide cases, and when is the chain of causation broken?
- Analysis of two hypothetical criminal law scenarios
