AHMAUD ARBERY – MALICE MURDER vs. FELONY MURDER

Posted byDennis Reeve 24 November 202124 November 2021

Malice murder is essentially first-degree murder. Felony murder is when a person dies during the commission of a felony. A felony can be jointly committed. Each defendant was convicted of committing 4 felonies (aggravated assault x2, false imprisonment, attempt to commit a felony) and upon those, 4 counts of felony murder.
