Description
The defendant was convicted of first-degree felony murder in a non-jury trial. The underlying felony, specified in the indictment, was aggravated child abuse. In this case, a ten month-old child died of a fractured skull, caused by the defendant throwing, shaking, or striking the child. Defendant contends that he cannot be convicted of felony murder for a death occurring in the course of committing aggravated child abuse, since the act of abuse was not separate and independent of the killing. The state concedes that there was no specific intent to kill and that the first-degree murder charge was founded entirely on felony murder.
