    Unintentional second degree murder is Minnesota’s version of felony murder. Felony murder does not require intent.

    Third degree murder in Minnesota requires a “depraved mind” which the example from this story wouldn’t meet.

    Edit: As a resident of Minnesota who studied the laws in both my Criminal Code and Criminal Law and Procedure classes, the incident from this article would not meet requirements for murder charges.
