These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 54 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“`Attempted felony murder' is a self-contradiction, for one does not `attempt' an unintended result.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“a wholly unintended killing is [felony] murder if it results from the commission of the underlying [predicate] felony[,]”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“"There can be no felony murder where there has been no death, and the felony murder ingredient of the offense of murder cannot be made the basis of an indictment charging attempted murder. Moreover, the offense of attempt requires an `intent to commit a specific offense', while the distinctive characteristic of felony murder is that it does not involve an intention to kill. There is no such criminal offense as an attempt to achieve an unintended result." (Citations omitted.)”
