Reckless Homicide
A person is guilty when with recklessness he causes the death of another person.

So this would be the charge that it would be.

How can you read the felony murder doctrine, and then say that it'd be reckless homicide?

or did you read it?

:confused:

here it is again:

felony murder doctrine n. a rule of criminal statutes that any death which occurs during the commission of a felony is first degree murder, and all participants in that felony or attempted felony can be charged with and found guilty of murder. A typical example is a robbery involving more than one criminal, in which one of them shoots, beats to death or runs over a store clerk, killing the clerk. Even if the death were accidental, all of the participants can be found guilty of felony murder, including those who did no harm, had no gun, and/or did not intend to hurt anyone. In a bizarre situation, if one of the hold-up men or women is killed, his fellow robbers can be charged with murder.

the FELONY committed was attempted murder. A death occurred during the commission of this FELONY. Thus the charge should typically be FELONY murder. What is so hard to understand about that?
