I'm in the choir, and well aware of, and completely fine with, the

You really have to stretch logic, common sense and reality to invoke
felony murder charges in the case I remarked upon.

Without being familiar with the specific laws where it occurred,
how can you say?



Common sense.

You are riding in the car with a friend, he runs a red light gets hit
and is killed. You are charged with murder because you were riding with
out wearing a seat belt????


Now do you see the logic?

No. Again, I am not a lawyer, and not familiar with the specific laws
of your state or Oklahoma, but running a red light is not even a
misdemeanor, let alone a felony.


It is breaking a law. Therefore you are liable for being punished in
some way for being with him.


Only if "felonious intent" - like trying to ram someone, or escape
police pursuit.
