For over 800 years, western law has recognized the felony murder

society.

The "greatest legal minds of almost a millennia" have arguably
spent more time in advancing their business model through blurring
of and shading distinctions than serving the common good.

Hmm. You COULD argue that, but you'd be wrong.

Probably.

Do you have an example?

Way too easy. Does OJ ring bell ...

And how could I have possibly missed the most egregious, self serving,
asinine attempt by a "legal mind" at _blurring of distinctions_ than
the former Asshat, disbarred lawyer prez:

"That depends upon what the meaning of "is" is".

There's plenty more where those came from ...

Yes, including just recently our Attorney General who said something like
"Whether something is a lie depends on the intent of the speaker."

So used car salesmen lie but computer salesmen don't? (Old joke in the
computer business--the difference between a computer salesman and a used
car salesman is that the used car salesman _knows_ when he's lying)
