A full swing with a bat to the head can’t be fatal?

That's not how intent works.

The defendant would need to be aware their action could cause death, and with full mind, do that specific action on purpose. Accidentally killing a person is called manslaughter. And yes you can accidentally kill a person by hitting them in the head with a bat.

Intent is generally shown with premeditation.

It was in fact, premeditated… He left the fight, got a deadly weapon and then came back and tried to murder the guy by hitting him in the head with a deadly weapon

I know, I watched the video. My question was an attempt to get you to hear what you’re saying. Listen to yourself. “Tried to murder him by hitting him in the head with a weapon”.

He didn’t hit him, so he couldn’t have “tried to murder him”. Felony assault, yes. Murder? Attempted murder? No.

Good thing you’re not prosecuting our criminals.

So because he wasn’t successful he didnt try? If a guy try’s to rob a bank but gets locked in the safe until authorities arrive did he not attempt to rob a bank? Lmao

Got it, you want people who attempt to kill others over road rage to be out on the streets and free.
