To answer the first question:
The limitations placed on felony murder are as follows:
A. The felony must be independent of the homicide.
B. The rule is limited to inherently dangerous felonies.
C. The felony and the homicide must accompany each other in close temporal proximity.
To determine which of these limitations is correct, you can individually analyze each option and see if it aligns with the definition of felony murder.
A. The felony must be independent of the homicide: This means that the felony committed must be separate and distinct from the act of murder. For example, if someone commits a robbery and during the course of the robbery accidentally kills a person, it would be considered felony murder.
B. The rule is limited to inherently dangerous felonies: This means that the felony committed must be inherently dangerous in nature. Examples of inherently dangerous felonies include arson or armed robbery. If the felony committed is not inherently dangerous, it may not be considered felony murder.
C. The felony and the homicide must accompany each other in close temporal proximity: This means that the felony and the act of murder must occur in close time proximity to each other. There should not be a significant temporal gap between the two events.
Now, you can compare these limitations to the options provided in the question to determine the correct answer.
To answer the second question:
The offense committed when a person has sexual intercourse with a person who may give consent but is below the legal age of consent is commonly known as statutory . The correct answer is C. Statutory .
Statutory laws vary by jurisdiction, so it's important to consult the specific laws in your location for accurate information.
