Arguing The Felony Muder Doctrine Arguing the Felony Murder Doctrine Murder is defined as killing a human being unlawfully and under circumstances constituting murder. Felony murder is defined as any murder that occurs in the commission of a serious felony, with intention being irrelevant to the charges (such as burglary or sexual battery). Is it conceivable to the public to punish felons for an act in which they had no intent on committing and/or involvement in the end result' The felony murder doctrine should be abolished on the basis that the underlying ingredient to a murder conviction is intent, so how can a criminal with no intent to commit such an act be held accountable for the unintended result in the death of another' There are many court cases that involve the felony murder doctrine as being inconsistent to American justice and have been overturned as the result of appeal. Some arguments against the felony murder doctrine have been highlighted in People v. Dekens, 182 Ill. 2d 247, 695 N.E. 2d 474 (Ill 1998), People v. Moran, 246 N.Y. 100 (1927), and People v. Morris, 1 Ill app. 3d 566, 274 n.e.2d 898.
