In Texas the repeat drunk driver who kills is charged with felony murder and faces a sentence up to life imprisonment.
In Tennessee our felony murder statute is limited to certain types of felonies. Our felony murder law states:
"A killing of another committed in the perpetration of or attempt to perpetrate any first degree murder, act of terrorism, arson, rape, robbery, burglary, theft, kidnapping, aggravated child abuse, aggravated child neglect, rape of a child, aggravated rape of a child or aircraft piracy."
