Felony Murder Elimination Project

The goal of Felony Murder Elimination Project is to eliminate the felony murder rule from California law. FMEP believes in an equitable and proportionate justice system. They strive not only to bring an end to this draconian law, but to bring relief to those who are serving severe and manifestly disproportionate sentences by its use. They are committed to eliminating extreme sentencing in California, particularly the death penalty and life without the possibility of parole, through community outreach and organization, public awareness, comprehensive and accessible data, and legislative and political action.
