I only know for German law, but over here the requirement is that the crime must have a basis in physical law. That is, somebody trying to murder you with a Voodoo doll cannot be held responsible, but somebody weak throwing a rock at you and falling short can, because even though the attempt had no practical chance at succeeding it was based on a legitimate physical premise.
