Computer viruses and the felony murder rule

The felony murder rule (where it exists) is an exception to the mens rea requirement for murder convictions. To follow up on Richard Parker’s point, the enumerated crimes that trigger the rule are invariably dangerous crimes only - battery, robbery, rape, arson and so on.

That matches up with what my Business Law professor (a former District Attorney) said when we were covering criminal law.
