Re: crime
Attempted Murder of someone who is "alive and well" . . . that's why it is "attempted." Bail is dependent on numerous factors outlined by statute as well as outside influence such as the Judge, the prosecutor and others invoved in the case and investigation. The range of bail could be a few thousand to a couple of million (or more). The penalty for attempted murder under NYPL 110/125.25 is (maximum) 25 years in prison with the person serving about 85% of that sentence before being paroled.
There may be "a way out." To explore the options avaiable in the defense of this matter, you or he/she will have to contact an attorney directly. Feel free to contact me at any time.
Re: crime
In South Carolina, a person convicted of an Attenpt charge, is sentenced as though the crime was actually committed. In other words, a person convicted of Attempted Burglary would be sentenced just like they actually committed burglary. Attempted Murder carries 30 years to life. I don't know anything about the case and therefore cannot tell you if there is "any way out." You are welcome to call or email if you have any other questions. [email protected]
