Preferred term

felony murder  

Definition

  • If a person dies during the commission of a serious felony offense, the person committing the felony can be charged with felony murder, even if she or he did not intend the death. The felony murder doctrine, which has been abandoned in many countries, applies in all U.S. jurisdictions. [Source: The SAGE Glossary of the Social and Behavioral Sciences; Felony Murder]
