[QUOTE="klmno, post: 442911, member: 3699"] Simply put, in this country, if you are doing something criminal and something so stupid that most reasonable people know could lead to the death of another and your criminal act did in fact lead to the death of another, it is felony murder, if I understand correctly. ETA: I tend to think this stems from understanding that some people just have a complete disregard for human life- it's not that they are necessarily trying to kill a person, it's that they didn't care. To some, that's just as bad. If someone sets fire to a building knowing people are in it, the person might not have intentionally tried to kill someone but the person obviously didn't care and they will be charged with murder, along with arson.
