What do you think about the last second inclusion of felony murder of a child / child abuse that just happened to have fifteen pieces of case law to go with it?

Yes, I know that and have already commented on that. I'm asking Cad what he thinks about that situation.

If we don't see Mr. Adebisi here next week consider him a strategically removed piece of the race war by the new black panthers.
how many times do you think the prosecution is going to say, " just a kid " and " shot in the heart "?

Felony murder is almost always bullshit. You should read some of the more outlandish cases.
One in law school we read, guy and his bro are robbing a jewelry store, cops show up, guy surrenders, gets handcuffed, put in the back of cop car. Bro runs, foot chase etc etc, pulls gun on cops, cops and shoot and kill him. They charge the guy sitting in the back of the cop car with felony murder, he is convicted, life in prison.
In this case though, the child abuse as a predicate to felony murder is just stupid because it obviously wasn't child abuse and the jury would not have found the predicate true. If the judge had let it in it would have just been a scattershot chewbacca attack hoping to confuse the jury and give them some kind of option to check the box.
just a kid, who punched a guys nose in, pushed his head into the concrete all the while suffering only one fatal gun wound as his sole injury.

Because it's still in the process of the same felony the two planned.
Getaway drivers are always charged with shit like this and say "I was only the driver!" Nope.
I'm talking about the closing arguments. Dr. Phil is back an its an all women jury. He is going to lay on the emotions.

Any death that happens in the commission of a felony makes you liable for felony murder.
Another guy got charged with felony murder from a street race where the one guy crashed and died. They charged the other guy with reckless driving to make it a felony and bootstrapped it up to felony murder.
Even when the COPS shoot the guy, he still died in commission of the crime.
Felony murder can be some serious bullshit.

I love it when the closing arguments start and right away, you can tell the whole thrust of their arguments are going to be in direct contravention of the evidence. The jurors should be thinking "wait, no fault of his own? Didn't he beat the crap out of the other guy?" lol
