Talk:Murder in Ohio law

Factual accuracy
Something's off here. This article, which cites this article, appears to indicate that Ohio effectively does not have a felony murder rule any longer, since it has enacted an involuntary manslaughter statute that covers what was previously felony murder. However, this article makes a claim that Eastlaw wrongfully explains that felony murder has been abolished in Ohio via the involuntary manslaughter statute. Firstly, who is "Eastlaw"? If it's User:Eastlaw, who made a very minor change the article's categories in 2012, then the main article space is not the proper place to call them out for that. Secondly, the claim is very unreferenced and reads like the editor's personal opinion on the subject. After all, it contradicts the sources I just mentioned. Even if the current claim does have references to back it up, WP:NPOV requires that we give fair representation to both viewpoints without standing behind one particular viewpoint.

 * Yeah, I have no idea what that's all about, Mz7. This isn't really my area of expertise and I don't have the time right now to research this, so make whatever changes you think are necessary. -- Eastlaw  talk ⁄ contribs 06:48, 2 April 2016 (UTC)


 * I've ✅ the article back to how it appeared when you last edited it. I think that should resolve the inaccuracies. Mz7 (talk) 18:26, 5 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Something's off here. This information appears to contradict this article, as well as others that explain Masonique Saunders's sentencing for felony murder. This appears to be alive and well in Ohio, unfortunately. ɱ  (talk) 01:02, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah, this article clearly needs the attention of an expert in Ohio law, which I am not. I'm half-minded to just redirect or merge the content of this article into Felony murder rule. Mz7 (talk) 02:18, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
 * , perhaps, but I'd like to get to the bottom of this dispute of the law's abolishment. Will ask others perhaps. ɱ  (talk) 02:22, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
