How has the court interpreted the meaning of specific intent under the felony-murder doctrine?

The failure to further define specific intent as it related to the felony-murder charge was unnecessary. Under the felony-murder doctrine, the intent required for a conviction of murder is imported from the specific intent to commit the concommitant felony. (People v. Sears [1965] 62 Cal.2d 737, 745, 44 Cal.Rptr. 330, 401 P.2d 938.) The instructions given by the court, when read as a whole, adequately advised the jury of the requisite mental state required for each crime: the general intent necessary to convict appellant of felony child abuse, and the specific intent required for a conviction of felony murder based upon that underlying felony. We find the instructions neither defective nor fatally confusing.
