CALCRIM 549.
 

549. Felony Murder: One Continuous Transaction—Defined

 

 


In order for the People to prove that the defendant is guilty of murder under a theory of felony murder [and that the special


 

circumstance of murder committed while engaged in the commission of  <insert felony> is true], the People

must prove that the _____________  <insert felony> [or attempted

____________ <insert felony> ] and the act causing the death were
part of one continuous transaction. The continuous transaction may occur over a period of time and in more than one location.

In deciding whether the act causing the death and the felony were part of one continuous transaction, you may consider the following factors:

1.      Whether the felony and the fatal act occurred at the same place;

2.      The time period, if any, between the felony and the fatal act;

3.      Whether the fatal act was committed for the purpose of aiding the commission of the felony or escape after the felony;

4.      Whether the fatal act occurred after the felony but while [one or more of] the perpetrator[s] continued to exercise control over the person who was the target of the felony;

5.      Whether the fatal act occurred while the perpetrator[s] (was/were) fleeing from the scene of the felony or otherwise trying to prevent the discovery or reporting of the crime;

6.      Whether the felony was the direct cause of the death; AND

Whether the death was a natural and probable consequence of the felony.
