Felony Murder Reform

Historically, many Minnesotans were convicted of “murder” who did not commit an act resulting in a person’s death. Rather, Minnesota’s “felony murder law” permitted prosecutors to charge a person with murder who lacked any intent to harm a person or were unaware a killing could occur. Changes to Minnesota law address this issue and those already impacted by felony murder convictions.
