> You seemed to be arguing earlier that there was something different about attempted murder that means it shouldn't be punished while murder should. Sorry, for that impression. I think all crimes are like illnesses. > Do you think attempted murder should be treated differently if the attempt demonstrated ability to carry it out, but the victim survived due to luck? Well, in an ideal world if I could design the justice system. I would think that every negative outcome is like an illness. Some illnesses are more unique than others but being able to carry murder is definitely different than not being able to but tried. So the illnesses would have to be cured differently.
