Does the escape rule apply to the continuous transaction doctrine?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Street, B267285 (Cal. App. 2017):
We disagree. Under the continuous transaction doctrine, the felony continues for purposes of felony-murder liability until the perpetrator reaches a place of temporary safety. (People v. Wilkins (2013) 56 Cal.4th 333, 341.) This "'"escape rule serves the legitimate public policy considerations of deterrence and culpability" by extending felony-murder liability beyond the technical completion of the crime.'" (Id. at p. 346.)
