Criminal attempt is when an extraneous factor interrupts the defendant's attempt to commit a crime. The sentencing would be dependent on the actions of the defendant, and how close he or she came to committing the crime.

Holmes believes there was not sufficient intent to find the defendants guilty because the evidence presented did not conclusively prove their guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

There is no distinction - all criminal offenses embody, as part of the statute, an "Attempt" to commit the same crime (e.g.: ATTEMPT Robbery - ATTEMPT Burglary - ATTEMPT Homicide - Etc). Just because a plan or an attempt was unsuccessful, or did not come to fruition, does not mean you are "home free" with no chargeable offense.
