Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! Today we're exploring some complex aspects of criminal law that frequently appear on exams -- the felony murder rule and causation in homicide cases. We have included an analysis of two hypothetical scenarios to illustrate these legal principles.

In this episode, we discuss:

Review of the felony murder rule
Which felonies are considered inherently dangerous?
The death of a co-felon rule
Causation in homicide cases, and when is the chain of causation broken?
Analysis of two hypothetical criminal law scenarios
