Only if #4 was shoot the clerk because he is black, then take the money in the register to make it look like a robbery. |

--- Quote from: Dartful Dodger on September 15, 2005, 01:58:26 pm ---If you were black and spent your whole life knowing people hated you, avoided you, watched you, attacked you, because of your skin color, you might understand. --- End quote --- No, I wouldn't. It's my position that ALL intentional killing, and ATTEMPTED intentional killing, be punished equally, at the highest maximum level allowed by law--unless it was done to protect life and limb. Anything less requires interpretation, or outright guessing. Just because I TRIED to kill a black person for being black, and failed due to my own incompetence, doesn't mean I should get a lesser sentence. I MEANT to kill them, therefore I should be tried exactly as if the attempt had been successful. Hitting someone in the leg with a baseball bat is Assault With a Deadly Weapon. Hitting them in the head is Attempted Murder. Here's another scenario for you. Suppose I decide to go out and shoot a black guy for no reason. Further suppose I'm a bad shot, and only blow his arm off. If I claim in court that I MEANT to blow his arm off, your system would try me for Assault With a Deadly Weapon. Mine would try me for Attempted Murder. If you were a member of the same community as the victim, which would give you a greater sense of security, knowing that any attempt to kill you would be tried as if it succeeded, or that it must succeed to be tried as a success? |

Wouldn't your court try him for actual Murder, since by your definition, Attempted Murder is equal to Murder? |
