People v. Stokes

How courts have described this case

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

• stating “[t]he starting point for the [sjtate’s jurisdiction in criminal cases is of course the territorial principle derived from the common law,” but that “[t]his principle has been supplanted by [s]tate statutes broadening the territorial principle of criminal jurisdiction”
• “Felony murder differs from other homicides in that it does not require a mens rea directly relating to the death.”
• “in felony murder the underlying felony is not so much an element of the crime but instead functions as a replacement for the mens rea or intent necessary for common-law murder.”
• “At issue in these related appeals is the novel question whether New York has jurisdiction to prosecute a defendant for felony murder when the homicide takes place here but the underlying felony is committed in a neighboring State. We answer that question in the affirmative.”
