  • Homicide – Common Law
    Homicide – Common Law Definition: The illegal, unjustified killing of another human being There are several different gradations of homicide under the common law: First Degree Murder: Intentional murder with aggravating factors (such as pre-meditation) Second Degree Murder: Murder with “malice aforethought” Voluntary Manslaughter: Intentional homicide with mitigating circumstances Involuntary Manslaughter: Homicide committed as a result of criminal recklessness or criminal negligence* • NOTE: Some states have developed a lesser crime called “criminally negligent homicide” • Under old British law, the differences between these four gradations of murder were not really clarified; today, however, the differences between these levels are, in deed, very important for sentencing purposes Second Degree Murder • Under the common law, any intentional homicide that is committed with malice aforethought that is not First Degree Murder is, by default, Second Degree Murder. “Malice Aforethought” (under common law): (1) intent to kill (2) intent to inflict serious bodily injury (some states reduce this to voluntary manslaughter) (3) intent to commit a felony from which a death results (felony-murder rule) (4) Acting in a manner that shows a “depraved indifference to human life” (i.e., extreme recklessness) that results in a death. • Penalty: Usually a long mandatory prison term or even life imprisonment (with possibility of parole after a certain number of years) First Degree Murder Requires intent to kill; not just “malice aforethought” Requires

THE FELONY-MURDER RULE: A DOCTRINE AT CONSTITUTIONAL CROSSROADS Nelson E. Roth* and Scott E. Sundby** INTRODUCTION Few legal doctrines have been as maligned and yet have shown as great a resiliency as the felony-murder rule. Criticism of the rule constitutes a lexicon of everything that scholars and jurists can find wrong with a legal doctrine: it has been described as "astonishing" and "monstrous,"' an unsupportable "legal fiction," 2 "an unsightly wart on the skin of the criminal law,"'3 and as an "anachronistic rem- nant" that has " 'no logical or practical basis for existence in mod- ern law.' "4 Perhaps the most that can be said for the rule is that it provides commentators with an extreme example that makes it easy to illustrate the injustice of various legal propositions. 5 Despite the widespread criticism, the felony-murder rule per- sists in the vast majority of states.

  • North Dakota Century Code T12.1C16
    CHAPTER 12.1-16 HOMICIDE 12.1-16-01. Murder. 1. A person is guilty of murder, a class AA felony, if the person: a. Intentionally or knowingly causes the death of another human being; b. Causes the death of another human being under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life; or c. Acting either alone or with one or more other persons, commits or attempts to commit treason, robbery, burglary, kidnapping, felonious restraint, arson, gross sexual imposition, a felony offense against a child under section 12.1-20-03, 12.1-27.2-02, 12.1-27.2-03, 12.1-27.2-04, or 14-09-22, or escape and, in the course of and in furtherance of such crime or of immediate flight therefrom, the person or any other participant in the crime causes the death of any person. In any prosecution under this subsection in which the defendant was not the only participant in the underlying crime, it is an affirmative defense that the defendant: (1) Did not commit the homicidal act or in any way solicit, command, induce, procure, counsel, or aid the commission thereof; (2) Was not armed with a firearm, destructive device, dangerous weapon, or other weapon which under the circumstances indicated a readiness to inflict serious bodily injury; (3) Reasonably believed that no other participant was armed with such a weapon; and (4) Reasonably believed that no other participant intended to engage in conduct likely to result in death or serious bodily injury.

  • Felony Murder Rule
    Felony Murder Rule Elements: (1)In the course or continuance of committing a violent felony (BRAKES) (2)a death is caused in furtherance of the felony being committed (3)that was a foreseeable result of the felony Possible Defense: “I didn’t realize the felony would turn dangerous” as long as that belief was reasonable Note: The actual killing does not have to be committed by the defendant! The actus reus and mens rea of the felony itself is sufficient to cover the homicide as well! Felony Murder Rule (cont.) What if one of the felons dies? o Agency rule: The felony-murder rule exists because the murder is committed by an “agent” of the defendant when they’re working together to commit a felony; thus, felony-murder rule does not apply here o Other rule: As long as the death is a result of the felony, it makes no difference who actually dies. Other Rules relevant to felony- murder: The felony cannot be the actual cause of the death (e.g. an assault that leaves a person dead is not felony-murder) If the actual killing was justifiable or excusable, the felony-murder rule does not apply. Voluntary Manslaughter Intentional Killing with “heat of passion” used as mitigation Elements (to reduce a charge from murder to manslaughter): (1) provocation that would cause a reasonable person to lose control (2) provocation did cause the defendant to lose control (3) no “cooling off period” (again, reasonable person standard) (4) Defendant did not cool off What is sufficient provocation? finding spouse in the act of adultery serious assault against
