Re: Man Found Napping in Car With Holdup Note
Well, I haven't started lawschool yet.
But... Basically for an attempt you need 2 things: Intent and a sufficient step in the process of committing the crime. The intentions of the guy are pretty obvious, so the argument becomes whether showing up at the cvs with gun, mask and note constitutes a sufficient step. I think it would be a hell of a lot easier to argue that that is a sufficient step than it would be to argue that it wasn't.

That's insane. Where do you draw the line? "Yea. I left home, thinking about killing my boss today." Call the cops!

That depends, are you leaving with a loaded weapon and a mask over your head with a note that says "shutup and don't move, I'm gonna kill you" [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
