1. “The trial court does not improperly broaden a charge when it instructs the jury on the elements of felony murder by stating the defendant or another killed the victim even though the complaint or information stated the defendant killed the victim. The law considers all who commit an inherently dangerous felony to be a killer if the fatal blow occurs during the commission of, attempt to commit, or flight from any inherently 14 dangerous felony, and the instruction informs the jury a defendant may be guilty whether the defendant or another committed the fatal act.”
