Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Felony-murder rules negate mens rea, attempt, and concurrence. Mens rea is the mental state required for a crime, attempt is the act of trying to commit a crime, and concurrence is the requirement that the mens rea and the actus reus (the physical act) occur at the same time. Felony-murder rules allow for a person to be convicted of murder even if they did not intend to kill anyone, did not attempt to kill anyone, or did not have the mens rea for murder at the time of the killing.
