This training will provide an overview and update on felony murder liability under California Penal Code section 1172.6. Effective January 1, 2019, the Legislature passed Senate Bill No. 1437 (2017-2018 Reg. Sess.) and thereby enacted Penal Code section 1172.6 (former section 1170.95). This new statute amended the felony murder rule and the natural and probable consequences doctrine to narrow murder liability. Prosecution under this statute is now limited to people who are actual killers, those who act with intent to kill, and those who are major participants in an underlying felony “who acted with reckless indifference to human life.” Since SB 1437’s enactment, significant changes have been made to the statute and governing case law in this constantly evolving area of law.
