Felony Murder Rule
The king's standing legal principle that anyone party to a felony in which a death occurs answers for that death as murder, intent or no intent. Huck cites it to Tress to explain why the entire crew of the Crow's Song will hang for the Oot's Dream — and why she had better not be aboard when the royal navy catches up. STD:Tress:Ch 13
