[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BALTIMORE (WBFF) — In Maryland, felony murder occurs when someone is killed while a felony crime, like robbery, is committed.

For example, if a getaway driver hits and kills a pedestrian while fleeing a crime scene, they are guilty of felony murder under current law.

Democratic Delegate Charlotte Crutchfield wants to change that with her Youth Accountability and Safety Act, House Bill 1180.

Specifically, Delegate Crutchfield wants that to apply to anyone under the age of 25.

"It would be absolutely outrageous and result in more crime," said Maury Richards, law enforcement expert and former Chief of Police in Martinsburg, West Virginia.

"Last year, with Senator Carter's Juvenile Justice Reform Act, it really opened the floodgates. There is a crime wave of violence going on right now, but instead of the legislator debating to rescind that, we're hung up on whether 25-year-olds should be charged with murder."

Proponents argue the brain is not fully developed until after someone turns 25.
