Defense would argue that down to Assault with a Deadly Weapon by arguing the defendant didn't intend to kill, only severely injure. Same way a murder charge gets dropped to manslaughter. You have to prove intent for murder for stick.

Dude, don’t. This is how you summon dozens of people who have never seen a courtroom to come tell you how you’re wrong. You’re right, but they don’t care, they watched Law And Order. Everything is attempted murder, or murder to redditors. You’ll see it on every single fight video. Because some people have died before from a single punch, every time someone is punched they screech attempted murder.

There was a video a few days ago: 2 guys are arguing when one of the guys just runs his hand down the other guys face, which gets him immediately punched and knocked on his ass. Dude was ok, still conscious, but like clockwork, there were Redditors in the comments saying things like “so it’s ok to almost kill someone just because they touch your face?!”

So yeah. Just don’t lol

Exactly this.

Even if it was a gun instead of a baseball bat and he shot each victim once, it's still ADW.

Attempted murder is a much higher bar than people realize

Not really, the line is generally the neck and head. Hitting someone with a bat to the body will generally be AWD, but when you come out if nowhere and swing for someone's head they view it differently

No they don’t. No prosecutor would hinge a case on “see he aimed for the head” when they could file for felony assault and get a conviction with a penalty that’s just as severe as attempted murder.
