Can You Be Executed For Not Directly Murdering Someone... Felony Murder?
Find answers to your legal question.





Can You Be Executed For Not Directly Murdering Someone... Felony Murder?

In cases of murder by proxy (contract killing) or being convicted under the felony murder rule... can one be executed for it.

I was wondering what happens in cases where people don't directly murder anybody.

In my state, NC you can. And there are several other states that you can as well. Here is a list of those already executed in the US who did not directly kill the victim.

Well i guess it depends which country you are in but if you did nothing to hurt them then no!
