In every state of the Union if one committed the above acts, one could be charged with capital murder; either under the Felony - Murder Rule (one is held liable for any death that results from an underlying felony) or First Degree Intent would be legally implied because the death resulting from such conduct should be foreseen by the person committing such egregious acts.
