[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 442930"] Okay, here's another example of felony murder (I did a few reports on this doctrine in college, cases that abused it in in my opinion in good ways and in my opinion in bad ways): During the time of the Lindburgh kidnapping, kidnapping was a misdemeanor. Hauptman was convicted and sentenced to death under the felony-murder doctrine for the theft of little Charles's pajamas (which the kid was wearing at the time and buried in). The theft was a felony, though evidence (now) says the death was an accident. This was a stretch of the felony-murder doctrine, but one that in my opinion was a good abuse of it. Kidnapping became a more serious crime after this case. [/QUOTE]
