Ersin Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Scenario:Guy drowns another dude, but other dude is revived in the hospital. Is it attempted murder since the guy is still alive or plain murder? This has been itching my head a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comfortable Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Attempted murder if the person is still alive, of course. (or is there something more to your question that I do not understand?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gent♥ Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Scenario:Guy drowns another dude, but other dude is revived in the hospital. Is it attempted murder since the guy is still alive or plain murder? This has been itching my head a bit. The guy ain't dead, so it's attempted murder. It's literally as simple of that. Murder is a more severe punishment than attempted murder because you have to retribute the taking of a life, not the harming of one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVenomWithin Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 If hes not dead its not murder? Uncertain as to why you are confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnage Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 The guy was unsuccessful in killing the other dude. Attempted murder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkle Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Attempted murder means it didn't work, so yeah. If they guy was intentionally trying to murder someone it's still premeditated murder, whether or not it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Dynamite Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Attempted Murder The Person Didn't Die From Drowning Hence It's Not Murder But Attempted Murder Instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subinka¿ツ Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 It's attempted murder because they tried to kill the person, whether they were revived or not, they still tried to kill someone but did not succeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heated Bread Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Attempted murder if the person is still alive, of course. (or is there something more to your question that I do not understand?) Yeah I do think there is something you're missing. If hes not dead its not murder? Uncertain as to why you are confused. The guy was unsuccessful in killing the other dude. Attempted murder. Attempted murder means it didn't work, so yeah. If they guy was intentionally trying to murder someone it's still premeditated murder, whether or not it works. Attempted Murder The Person Didn't Die From Drowning Hence It's Not Murder But Attempted Murder Instead Attempted ________ means the criminal tried to ___________ but did not succeed. So attempted murder. It's attempted murder because they tried to kill the person, whether they were revived or not, they still tried to kill someone but did not succeed. I can't believe all of you guys seem to be missing the important part. Scenario:Guy drowns another dude, but other dude is revived in the hospital. So he succeeded in drowning the other guy. Technically it was murder. Let's say the guy was legally declared dead. Then he snaps back to life. It's been known to happen that people who are declared dead sometimes wake out of it later. That's the point, right? Trouble is that if someone was declared dead and then is revived, doesn't it mean that the declaration was in error? That's the hazy part IMO. So maybe you guys aren't missing anything, and it's just me. I'm going with attempted murder too. Turns out he was only mostly dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive.

Yes, the declaration was incorrect and should be revised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kireek Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 attemtped. he succeded which means he attempted to murder him in the first place but since he got revived, its not full murder. EzPz ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalkaria Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Attempted. The end result was the mans survival, so it's not actual murder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surs Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 That's attempted murder, if the person he tried drowning died and didn't get revived, then that is murder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
