“attempt to commit the crime of murder by attempting to kill [the victim]. ...”
10 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Pierce v. State · Tacy v. State“. [The instruction required that the State prove that, when the defendant fired his pistol at [the victim], he was 'attempting to kill him. While 'attempting to kill' is not synonymous with 'intending to kill, we believe that no significant potential for harm resulted from the substitution of 'at, tempting' for 'intending' in this case.”
5 later decisions quote this exact passage“Here, the jury was instructed as follows: "LC. 35-41-5~1. ATTEMPTED Murder ... [a] person attempts to commit murder when, acting with the culpability required for commission of murder, he engages in conduct that constitutes a substantial step toward commission of the crime of murder. The elements of ATTEMPTED Murder are that the accused must: (1) knowingly or intentionally (2) attempt to kill (3) another human being"”
