The whole purpose of instituting the concept of felony murder was to eliminate the possibility of someone getting off with a lesser sentence by claiming that the death was not premeditated.
But, you put duct tape over a little 2 ½ year old child’s mouth and she suffocates as a result of it, it’s felony murder, simple as that.
