Can anyone explain how it is attempted murder if the guy called and turned himself in before having the chance to even attempt the murder? According to the latest news, the dude drove to Brett's house and then got cold feet and called the police. I don't see how this is legitimate attempted murder or assassination.
Any legal fags here?

it's a republican psyop staged by glowies
Xavier Green
if that's true then it's probably the police posturing for a headline so they appear TOUGH ON POLITICAL CRIME VOTE FOR BROSKI CHADWICK FOR DA/SHERRIFF IN NOVEMBER, when in reality he'll probably get a slap on the wrist

You can be charged with anything. It doesn't have to be reasonable. Prosecutoral discretion is a tool of politics, not justice.
Joshua Cruz
It's not. It's conspiracy to commit murder. They threw that charge at him to lose, obviously.
Ayden Brooks
Attempted murder is an inchoate crime. If substantial steps towards commission of the crime have been taken, like going across the country and to Kavanaughs neighborhood, then liability may attach and the perp can be charged/convicted.
Perp may argue abandonment as a defense. Since he turned himself in, it may work. It depends on the laws in the jurisdiction.

Why did he call the police on himself and not go "hey i don't want to die or go to jail" and just go back home.
Isaiah Clark
Kek what a faggot. Why would you turn yourself in when you dindu nuffin? The was a White guy right?
Wyatt Walker
I call your attention back to Derick Chauvin . They will over charge whenever they want, we live in the world of feelings.
Michael Rivera
If he got cold feet why would he call the police he could just leave wtf
Nathan Howard
>Yeah officers, I wanted to kill the man, but it got less funny the closer I got to him, so I am standing here outside of his bedroom window with a loaded gun, but no killing intent, and I called you just to be sure
not really attempted murder, but he might be mentally retarded
Michael Reyes
It's based on all the transcripts they have of him talking with the agents who encouraged him to do the attack
Isaac Lee
To be attempted murder, you just need the intent to commit murder and to take a substantial step in achieving that murder. Driving to BK's house with a gun, admittedly intending to murder him, is attempted murder. Changing your mind is legally insignificant at that point in a lot of states, and I suspect in the Federal court as well.
Hunter Sanders
yeah I don't get it. he had zipties and whatever other shit on him but he could have just thrown them away, hid his guns, and committed himself for suicidal thinking instead
Michael Adams
Because it's all fake and gay.
Samuel Allen
also last I heard, they aren't talking about where he got the guns. because apparently he flew to maryland for this and they got tough gun laws

So he was a state lines crooser like based Rittenhouse?
Michael Long
>Drove armed all the way to California
>Cucks out probably for optics
Sounds like an attempt. Not attempting it would be just sitting in your house bitching on the internet about it.
