It could be depending upon all of the circumstances. If you or someone you know is facing such a charge, you need the very best criminal defense attorney you can afford.

Re: attempted murder
Yes, stabbing a person most likely will draw a charge of attempt first degree murder. In order to be found guilty of attempt first degree murder, the State must prove you intended to kill the person when you stabbed him. Please call for further discussion.
