What constitutes Felony Murder as outlined in §940.03?

Felony murder, as defined in §940.03, occurs when a person commits a felony, and in the course of that crime, another individual dies as a direct result of the felony. This legal concept is based on the idea that certain unlawful acts carry such a high risk of causing death that if someone dies as a result, the perpetrator can be charged with murder, regardless of intent to kill.

In the context of the choices provided, the correct answer emphasizes the connection between the commission of a crime and the resultant death. The underlying principle here is that the individual engaged in a felony is inherently responsible for any fatalities that occur in the course of that illegal activity, reinforcing accountability for actions that lead to unintended consequences.
