Law of Parties (Felony Murder Rule)

[RainyCola]

I'm just wondering if anyone has a comprehensive list of those who are on death row who have been convicted under the law of parties. I can't seem to find one anywhere. I know of a few, but I'm sure there are more.

The only way to determine if it is a LOP case is to read the judges instructions to the jury. A friend of mine worked on this for the TDS. They found 14 true LOP cases. A lot more claim to be LOP cases. But there is no list--it is very time consuming work involving many counties.

Thank you, mamma! I thought so....

Glad to help you illusionist--and all our members. These cases can be very complex. Sometimes it is helpful to get another opinion.

mamma,thank you helpful message.

Still I'm confusing a bit..Let me send another one in for a few days.

But I felt LawofParties is really fuzzy as law.

Here is the statute:
Section 7.02 of the Texas Penal Code outlines the following:
A person is criminally responsible for an offense committed by the conduct of another if "acting with intent to promote or assist the commission of the offense he solicits, encourages, directs, aids or attempts to aid the other persons to commit the offense" or "If, in the attempt to carry out a conspiracy to commit one felony, another felony is committed by one of the conspirators, all conspirators are guilty of the felony actually committed, though having no intent to commit it, if the offense was committed in furtherance of the unlawful purpose and was one that should have been anticipated as a result of the carrying out of the conspiracy."
Article 37.071(b)(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedures permits the infliction of the death penalty only if the jury believes beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant "intended to kill the deceased or another or anticipated that a human life would be taken."

Don't worry if you can't make sense of it. You can't! Of course you can ask any question you want.

[illusionist]

Signed.sorry for belated and thank you for the link,mamma..I'll also send a letter.

LawofParties is hard to understand because It's fuzzy,and when "Law" is fuzzy,I cannot trust the system.fundamentally wrong,I think.
