People v. Fuller
As you read Fuller, consider these questions:
1. What happened? What did Fuller do?
2. When was the underlying felony that led to the felony murder charge? Was Fuller charged with first-degree murder or second-degree murder? Why?
3. What is the issue on appeal? What makes a felony "inherently dangerous"? What is the policy for limiting the felony murder rule to "inherently dangerous" felonies?
4. What is the court's holding? Why does the court rule in that way? What prompts the court's criticism of the controlling precedent?
