Does response 2 answer the question 1. Applying what you know after reading this chapter, discuss whether it might have been feasible to charge the defendant with some form of murder. Discuss the argument for at least two homicide charges based on the facts presented. Discuss in detail. It might have been difficult to charge Burrage with first-degree murder in regard to this case because that offense calls either intentional misconduct or planning, neither of which appeared to be present in this instance. Two more homicide charges, still might be taken into consideration. Felony murder: Burrage's drug distribution may be connected to the theory of felony murder, which is the idea that a death happens while a felony is being committed (in this case, drug trafficking). Although Burrage did not intentionally kill anyone, the act of committing a felony that led to a death could expose him to a charge of felony murder because the death was an expected consequence of the illegal act. Involuntary manslaughter: When a defendant behaves carelessly or recklessly and causes the death of another person, this is another possible charge. In this instance, it might be argued that Burrage's selling of heroin despite being aware of the possibility of an overdose led to Banka's death. Charges of involuntary manslaughter may be more possible in light of the testimony suggesting that Banka may not have died from heroin alone but from a cocktail of narcotics
