What ever happened to attempted Murder Charges ???:confused:
In the news today , whenever somebody is shot even multiple times, its Aggrivated Assault with a deadly weapon ??
Sounds like a slap on the wrist to me :rolleyes: :mad:

most aggravated offenses carry a higher penality group than an attempted offense(due to the use of some type weapon or another offense was committed in the process of the 1st and aggravated offenses can usually enhanced or filed federally!
thats the way we try and do it in the county i work for.others may be different!

You'd have to ask the DA's, but this sounds familiar.
Attempted Murder is specific intent crime. Meaning you have to prove the intent to murder.
Aggravated assualt is a general intent crime. Meaning you just have to prove they did it.
