One of the instruments oriented to reduce uncertainties of this type is the Land Register, which promotes the exchange …

Intentional Killing Without Intending To Kill: Knobe’S Theory As A Rational Limit On Felony Murder, Joseph C. Mauro Aug 2013

Intentional Killing Without Intending To Kill: Knobe’S Theory As A Rational Limit On Felony Murder, Joseph C. Mauro

Louisiana Law Review

Felony murder authorizes maximum criminal punishment, the kind typically reserved for the most ruthless and calculating killers, for defendants who did not even intend to kill. Many retributivist scholars therefore criticize felony murder for abandoning the traditional notion that intent determines culpability and the appropriate degree of punishment. Despite widespread agreement with this criticism, however, felony murder persists in most jurisdictions. Joshua Knobe's empirical research turns this problem on its head by suggesting that intent is not just a mental state. Numerous experiments have shown, in fact, that people are more likely to call an action intentional, regardless of what …

Though seldom scrutinized by courts and commentators, this practice occurs within a variety of doctrinal settings. For example, a stricter standard of harmless error review governs constitutional claims; district court findings of facts (and mixed findings) are subject to a stricter form of appellate review in constitutional cases; collateral relief from federal court judgments is more …
