- Authors
Vollrath, Derick R.
- Abstract
The article discusses North Carolina criminal law for the prosecution of Shaken Baby Syndrome deaths as first-degree murder. Information on the felony murder rule of North Carolina and its codification of the felonious child abuse' crimes is presented, and reflects that felony murder doctrine rule is indefensible in the context of Shaken Baby Syndrome. It suggests for legislative and judicial reform in the criminal law of North Carolina for treatment of Shaken Baby Syndrome cases.
