How do the victims families benefit from the felony murder statute? ?

Explanation:

The "Felony Murder Rule" basically states that if someone dies while you are committing any crime then your action to commit the crime is also taken as intent to commit a murder. Therefore any "accidental" death that occurs during your crime is considered to be a murder and you are charged accordingly.

This helps the victims families because if this rule didn't exist then a criminal that robs a house and someone accidentally dies in the process, might only be charged with a minor offence like "breaking and entering" or "theft" but not "murder" and get released without every paying for the death of the victim.
