Question

How do the victims families benefit from the felony murder statute??

Answer 1

The victim's families advantage from the lawful offense kill statute is the point at which the families know where the guilty party will be for whatever is left of their life. They don't need to go to parole hearings and relate their injury consistently.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

The "Felony Murder Rule" basically states that if someone dies while you are committing any crime then your action to commit the crime is also taken as intent to commit a murder. Therefore any "accidental" death that occurs during your crime is considered to be a murder and you are charged accordingly.

This helps the victims families because if this rule didn't exist then a criminal that robs a house and someone accidentally dies in the process, might only be charged with a minor offence like "breaking and entering" or "theft" but not "murder" and get released without every paying for the death of the victim.
