Ive read the description over and over and I still dont understand what is the definition of just the 1st degree Felony murder. I understand the premeditation part, but I dont see where it describes just 1st degree Felony murder. The 3 things listed always have the premeditation in it.
I am pretty sure JA is guilty of both these parts, but it is real confusing to me the way Felony murder doesnt seem to have a clear description by itself.
Count 1 charges the defendant with First Degree Murder. Arizona law recognizes two types of First Degree Murder Premeditated Murder and Felony Murder. The state has charged the defendant with both types.
juan explained the felony murder in his closing - saying it is when you kill some one during the commision of a crime and explained she committed felony murder in 2 ways - first after he first stab, if she continued then that was felony assualt - because the first blow was not fatal, but also said that if they believed jodi's story that she took the gun from TA and dumped it in the desert, then she was actually committing robbery (or burglary i forget which)
and the best part - he said to get murder 1 conviction, the jury did not need a unanimous vote on either premed murder or felony murder, but that if 6 jurors vote guilty felony murder and the other 6 vote her guilty of premed murder - then jodi is convicted of murder 1
