That's why she should be charged with involuntary manslaughter instead of felony murder.
Marking it as murder does not automatically derive from the felony ti is just boosted through it.

Let's assume the guy was not drunk and not naked but a common burglar. Let's also assume the house belonged to a healthy young couple.
Situation:
He breaks in. The husband hears him and wants to take a look downstairs. In the darkness he trips and falls down the stairs breaking his neck.
Now he would still be alive if it wasn't for that burglar but the burglar did not kill him and therefore probably shouldn't be charged for murder.
[/QUOTE]Well, that's why I said manslaughter - the death should certainly part of the charges - but 'Murder One' is a bit strong...So we agree with eachother.
