Attempted Murder Charge-Expected Outcomes?
Being arrested for an attempted murder charge is a frightening experience. It is one of the most serious criminal charges short of actual murder, the charges carrying some very stiff penalties under the law. Depending on where you live in the United States or elsewhere, attempted murder charges carry diverse penalties, but they are always severe, as the charge merits.

Mitigating circumstances do occur where attempted murder may be justified, while other circumstances do exist where the attempted murder is more heinous and thus is subject to more stern penalties under the law. Some of these circumstances may include: *Attempted murder of a pregnant woman *Poisoning *Attempted murder of a police officer or other law enforcement official *When someone purchases murder as a service.

The victims in both cases lived many years an died later from complications of those injuries. Charges were then brought against the offenders for murder, even though they had already served more than ten years in prison for the attempted murder charge.
