Felony murder rule (Ohio)
 | This article needs attention from an expert in Law. (September 2020) |
In the U.S. state of Ohio, the common law felony murder rule has been effectively abolished in most situations through the enactment of Ohio's involuntary manslaughter statute.[1] Still, a defendant can be convicted of murder in Ohio under the felony murder rule if someone dies as a result of the defendant committing an "offense of violence" that is a first or second degree felony.[2]
