Ubiq -“If a person intends to commit Arson and didnt know a person was inside the building R’L are you saying he cant be charged with second degree murder because it wasn’t a separate act You need to do 2 Felonies?
If a person intends to kidnap someone by stuffing him in the trunk of a car and the person (unintentionally) suffocates he cant be charged with second degree murder becasue it wasnt a separate act You need to do 2 Felonies?”
In the first case – there were 2 Felonies. Arson & Murder.
In the 2nd case, there was just Murder (One Felony).
Remember, I didn’t Write Minn. 2nd degree Murder Law!
