Felony Murder Law Reform 0 0 0 The Felony Murder Law Reform (#FMLR) seeks to change the outdated and deeply unfair felony murder rule, which had allowed people who did not kill to nonetheless be charged, convicted, and sentenced as murderers. The current felony murder laws allow prosecutors to charge all accomplices to a crime with first degree murder. It does not matter if there was no intention to kill, if the death was accidental, or if the accomplice had no knowledge that someone else would kill. Everyone is just as responsible, as if they had planned and committed the murder themselves. In practice, this means that even if one was unaware that a killing would or did take place, they could still face a murder charge and receive a sentence equally or in some cases more severe than the actual perpetrator. This doctrine has been abolished for decades in all other common law countries, but many states still have these laws in place, including Minnesota.
