Does Defendant have a compelling case to argue that the felony-murder rule is unsound as a matter of policy and should be abolished?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Coleman, 251 Cal.Rptr. 83, 46 Cal.3d 749, 759 P.2d 1260 (Cal. 1988):
Defendant contends the felony-murder rule is unsound as a matter of policy and that this court should abolish it, and that the rule is unconstitutional as a violation of due process. We rejected both of these arguments in People v. Dillon (1983) 34 Cal.3d 441, 194 Cal.Rptr. 390, 668 P.2d 697. Defendant presents us with no compelling reason to reexamine that holding.
