Under Alabama law, Casey White has been charged with felony murder because Vicki White's death occurred while he was committing a felony. A Lauderdale County grand jury indicted White on the charge in June. His lawyers argue that law is unconstitutional.
The indictment charges Casey White with first-degree escape “and in the course and furtherance of committing escape in the first degree, caused the death of Vicky White, who died from a gunshot wound to the head.”
“Police dash cam and body cam recordings clearly show that at the conclusion of a car chase, the vehicle driven by White wrecked and rolled over in a roadside ditch or median,” the motion said. “Video clearly shows that the deceased shot herself in the head and continued holding the gun in her hand as police approached. The death in this case was clearly a suicide and the defendant can not be convicted for the death.
The defense motion also argued that the U.S. Supreme Court has found issue with the concept of charging felony murder.
