For the felony murder rule in all U.S. jurisdictions, see felony murder rule.

In the state of New Mexico, the common law felony murder rule is codified in N.M. Stat. Ann. § 30-2-1(2).[1]

Judicial interpretations

The rule was narrowed in State v. Ortega, where the court held that the perpetrator must have the same mens rea as one who commits murder.[2]
