In the United States, felony murder is generally first degree murder, and is often a capital offense. When the government seeks to impose the death penalty on someone convicted of felony murder, the Eighth Amendment has been interpreted so as to impose additional limitations on the state power. The death penalty may not be imposed if the defendant is merely a minor participant and did not actually kill or intend to kill. However, the death penalty may be imposed if the defendant is a major participant in the underlying felony and "exhibits extreme indifference to human life".

If you commit an assault crime in Oregon can Idaho extradite you?

Yes, as long as legal standards are satisfactorily met. As with the other 48 states within the United States, Oregon and Idaho tend to respect, and cooperate with, each other, and the other states, on extradition requests. For extradition tends to be requested in regard to the serious, felony charges. So if you commit a crime in Oregon, and then go to Idaho, you can be extradited from the latter to face the charges and trial in the former state. The only way that neither Oregon and Idaho nor the other 48 states would sort out your extradition would be if another country became involved. For if you're from a country other than the U.S., then your situation automatically gets handled by the federal government.
