This is just a pet peeve of mine. Just looking for opinions. Or maybe someone can explain it to me if I'm wrong.
Why in the heck do murder and attempted murder have different punishments? Why are they even different charges.
Seems to me that "attempted murder" just means you weren't competent enough to do it right.
If a guy aims a gun at someone's head and pulls the trigger, does the victim miraculously surviving change what the guy did in any way? Does modern medicine make the crime not quite as bad?
Just food for thought.
