In 1957 England abolished the felony-murder rule. Section 1 of England's Homicide Act, 1957, 5 & 6 Eliz 2, c 11, § 1. They reason it is unfair to the criminal to impute the intent to murder simply from the fact that the "killer" committed an act that is known to be inherently dangerous to people and someone dies. They feel murder should be reserved to those who actually express malice for murder and not imputed malice for murder.
That video talks about the common law and how criminal intents were originally constructed. It is applicable to both Commonwealth and US law. Of course, the UK no longer accepts the felony murder rule.
awesome lecture!!
