  • Should Phillips Be Accused Of Felony Murder?

    682 Words  | 3 Pages

    In this case, grand theft wasn’t an inherently dangerous felony because Phillips technically didn’t do the crime of taking someone’s property against their will, he basically used the money to provide treatment/medication to Linda. Dangerous crimes according to the inherently dangerous felony / abstract approach is crimes that involved robbery, burglary, kidnapping, arson, rape, and etc. However, he didn’t do any of the above besides, “Repeatedly assuring Linda’s parents that he can cure her without surgery, and providing the care/treatment she needed.” In consequences, he should have been charged with felony murder, because he thought he could cure Linda, and although he was a doctor, he wasn’t the doctor that could have saved Linda’s life. She needed surgery, and eventually because he was held responsible for her care during that time period, the consequences of the crime backfired, because Linda died.
