The "and outcome" is my point. It has to actually be something that could be a problem. Similar to how it's not attempted murder to cast a magic spell intending to kill someone with it, no matter how sincerely you believe in the magic.
- SilasX 4mo agoOkay but in this case, the act, if successful, would have the outcome that it prevents recovery of critical evidence in a homicide, so yes that would count as obstruction. It didn't, of course, because the plan was foiled, but that's not relevant. (With that said, I agree that 30 years is excessive, even under the heuristic that it should be a greater penalty than the crime it supported.)
- wat10000 4mo agoIs that actually true? Were the zines critical evidence in a homicide?
