If a person is acquitted for attempted murder and the victim is alive at the time can he be charged a 2nd time for murder in the first if they found evidence and a murder weapon after she died?

The answer is NO. But prosecutors who have later gotten more evidence have been creative in prosecuting the cases again by charging the Defendant with perjury and having the person sentenced to a long prison time because that charge resulted in a death.

However, double jeopardy prevents any person from being charged with the same crime twice. Attempted murder and murder in the first degree are NOT the same crime, and thus double jeopardy does not apply in this situation.

Can child abuse be considered attempted murder?
Difficult to answer simply. No, not in a legal sense. Attempted murder is a completely different offence. Of course the attempted murder of a child IS abuse but the charge is different, it may also be an additional charge. Being charged with child abuse is not the same as being charged with the attempted murder of a child.
