Haven't heard the term, "attempted murder" for the longest time. Does it still exist?

I am sure it does, in those cases where there was an actual attempt ot kill rather than maim.

That may come out in the questioning.

Seems to me this is a popular 711. This is not the first time it was in the news in the last few weeks. I should see if I can get an apartment there. I could just look out the window to get my fix of viewing violence rather than having to turn on the TV.
