What Is an Attempted Murder Charge?
An attempted murder charge is basically an official legal accusation. If a person is charged with attempted murder, this means he is suspected of trying to kill another person. In most places, a person can only be charged with attempted murder if there is evidence that he intended to kill the other party or behaved in a reckless manner and without regard for the other person’s life. Typically, an attempted murder charge means the defendant has been accused of the crime, but it does not mean he is guilty. In many places, a person is only considered guilty of attempted murder after he has had a trial for the crime and has been found guilty.
