Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• explaining that a murder may be committed in perpetration of a felony if it is committed within the res gestae of the felony
• holding that the trial court did not obviously err in failing to charge the jury on appellant’s “convoluted theory of in- voluntary manslaughter based on reckless conduct” where the acts underlying his reckless conduct argument amounted to felonies
• affirming felony-murder conviction when victim’s death was 33 “closely related temporally and spatially to Appellant’s felony of pos- session with intent to distribute cocaine”
• as the trial court’s charge adequately instructed the jury, appellant did not show a reasonable probability that the trial would have ended more favorably had counsel preserved his claims of instructional error
• focusing on descriptions Jackson sourced from Durden and Jones
