STATE V. CANOLA
73 N.J. 206, 374 A.2d 20 (1977)
NATURE OF THE CASE: Canola (D) appealed a judgment which convicted defendant of two
counts of felony murder in violation of N.J. Stat. Ann. 2A:113-1. D contends that that the
lower court erred in holding him liable for the killing of his accomplice at the hands of a
victim of a robbery in which D participated.
FACTS: D and three others (the four morons) decided to rob a jewelry store. The owner of
the jewelry store and his employee attempted to resist the armed robbery and got into a
physical fight with one of the robbers. A second robber began shooting and the store owner
returned fire. Both the storeowner and one of the felons were fatally shot. D and the two
remaining felons were charged with both deaths as well as other crimes. D was found guilty
and given concurrent life terms. D appealed and review was granted on the issue of the death
of the co-felon.
