Tricky question! A little strange as well. If durring a trail the Judge decides that The accused did not kill the victim but did try, yes that conviction would be possible. If the accused is acquitted of Homicide he can not be retried for the same crime, this is called "double jeopardy". There is a good WIKI artical on tthe concept. If there is a seperate incedent where the accussed did attempt Homicide yes he can be convicted.

Do victims precipitate in homicides?

Victims precipitate 0% of all homicides. The decision to commit the crime is still made by the perpetrator and always precipitated by that person. No matter how dumb, naive, careless, greedy, or even guilty of a crime the victim may be, the person who decides to commit the crime against them is still the perpetrator and the person who was subject to the crime is still the victim. The percentage of occurrence that the perpetrator is the only victim of their own crime is negligible, and that person is still the perpetrator. If it is determined to be a homicide, the killer is solely responsible for the homicide. The convictions for those that use excuses that blame the victim confirm this.
