P. v. Lopez
Appellant was convicted of felony murder. Defendant contends the trial court should have instructed the jury that in order to convict appellant of this crime, it had to find both that the homicide was part of one continuous transaction with the underlying burglary or robbery, and that the underlying crimes were still in progress at the time of the homicide, despite the victim’s intervening sexual assault on appellant. Court rejected these contentions, and affirmed the judgment.
