Julian did not like a family that belonged to a particular ethnicity and lived next door to him. Julian paid a friend, Leo, to set fire to the family’s residence. Leo forced open a side door leading into the kitchen. After searching the home to make sure no one was there, Leo rigged the gas oven to explode after a short delay. Leo quickly left the house. The oven exploded a few minutes later, and the house was completely destroyed by the resulting fire. Unbeknownst to Leo, the family had modified their attic, and a cousin was sleeping there at the time. The cousin was killed in the fire.Which of the following best supports Julian’s conviction for felony murder in connection with these events?
