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?

Well to start with I have had the undo fortune to have to take cases like this to the grand jury and know that its not always what is written in black and white, but how some that has no clue about the laws see it in there eyes.
