Attempted felony murder is charged when a perpetrator causes a death or injury while engaged in the commission of a felony. Perpetrators do not have to commit the actual elements of the felony; they may be guilty if they are merely aiding or assisting someone else in the commission of a felony. Depending on the severity of the victim's injuries, the punishment for attempted felony murder may range up to life in prison. This is a very serious crime for which you should always have help from a good South Florida attempted felony murder criminal defense lawyer.
