Attempted Murder

Assault & Battery | Murder | Child Abuse | Kidnapping & False Imprisonment | Violent Crimes

In order to be convicted of attempted murder charges, the prosecution must prove that the defendant acted:

“deliberately and intentionally or recklessly with extreme disregard for human life.”

Mere preparation to commit murder is insufficient to garner an attempted murder conviction — there must be substantial steps taken by the defendant toward actually committing the murder.

If the victim’s injuries are serious enough, the defendant may be charged with assault with a deadly weapon or attempt to cause grave bodily injury in addition to or instead of attempted murder.

Whatever the specifics of your case or the charges brought against you, defending your criminal case in the strongest possible way is critical to your freedom and your future.
