[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 3987315, member: 26737"] I'm guessing they're talking about the "felony murder rule," which allows someone to be charged with murder if they were involved in a felony that resulted in a death, even if they didn't participate in the actual killing. F'rinstance, if a group robs a bank and one of them kills a guard, all of them could be charged with murder under the felony murder rule. It sounds like the proposed law would prohibit the felony murder rule from being applied to "kids" under 25 in addition to prohibiting them from being charged with first degree murder. [/QUOTE]
