''For the felony murder rule in all U.S. jurisdictions, see felony murder rule.'' Felony murder in Ohio is generally "second degree" murder (Ohio calls "second degree murder" "murder"). Essentially, Ohio takes the majority approach that felony murder must be the result of a violent felony, but Ohio breaks from the majority rule by not making felony murder a first degree murder. Felony murder occurs when a death results from a ''violent'' first or second-degree felony.〔http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/2903.02〕 Ohio's "aggravated murder" statute--aggravated murder is commonly referred to as "first degree murder"--lists several felonies that would make a killing in the commission of a felony amount to aggravated murder. However, the statute specifies that the perpetrator must purposely intend for the person to die.〔http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/2903.01〕 Essentially, if you kill someone on purpose, even if while committing a felony, you have committed aggravated murder. If someone dies as the result of a violent felony you committed, you have committed murder, even if you did not purposely intend for them to die. Eastlaw wrongfully explains that felony murder has been abolished in Ohio via the involuntary manslaughter statute. The article fails to look at Ohio's second-degree murder statute, which clearly states that a violent felony that results in death equals murder. (See Ohio Revised Code 2903.02(B)) Moreover, Ohio's involuntary manslaughter statute specifies manslaughter crimes, not felonies. The involuntary manslaughter statute is completely unrelated to felony murder. It is a codification of the common-law involuntary manslaughter rule, which included misdemeanor manslaughter. ==See also== * Law of Ohio 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Felony murder rule (Ohio)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
