6 later decisions quote this exact passage““A killing is committed in the perpetration or attempted perpetration of a felony within the purview of a felony-murder statute when there is no break in the chain of events leading from the initial felony to the act causing death, so that the homicide is linked to or part of the series of incidents, forming one continuous transaction.”... [E]scape is ordinarily within the res gestae of the felony and that a killing committed during escape or flight is ordinarily within the felony murder rule.”
