1.6. Attempted Murder

• A person who deliberately and intentionally attempts to kill or cause life threatening harm to another person through premeditated actions.

• A person who, by criminal accident, negligence, or in the heat of passion, causes severe or life threatening bodily harm to another person.

- Penal Code 1.6 is a felony punishable by no more than 90 months and no more than $1000 in fines.

This falls under Officer Discretion.

Attempted Murder is a catch-all for any action that leads to severe bodily harm. Its range in imprisonment is intended to account for when such severe harm is premeditated or accidental.

For accidents and negligence there must be evidence of foul play, criminality in the instance, or some other factor beyond a truly accidental incident. For example, injuring someone while speeding or intoxicated.

(( Aggravated Battery is much less severe and would not, for example, leave someone in a coma or brutally wounded script-wise. There is however also no guarantee that being brutally wounded means attempted Murder as it depends on how the situation is RPed. ))
