Question to residents - thank you in advance. I am considering purchasing a 1st level...
How is this not attempted murder? No premeditation?
Premeditation is when someone early came up with a plan to try to attack/kill someone. Probably not the case here, but I hope they go with attempted murder and maybe (if necessary) plead down to Attack with a deadly weapon.
I think we don’t need more people in jail, but violent people like this – hell yeah, throw them in jail for a long time!
I’m not an expert on criminal law, but it’s possible the suspect(s) will still be charged with attempted murder. The police only need one charge to hold them in custody while the U.S. Attorneys Office puts together the case against them. The assault charge should be enough to keep them behind bars pending trial/plea hearing by which point the prosecutor may have added other charges to the indictment.
Premeditation, a well thought out plan in the legal world, is not needed to prove attempted murder. An intent to kill is. This intent can be formed on the spur of the moment, and can be proven using circumstantial evidence i.e., you don’t need someone to say “i intend to kill you” in order to prove this portion of the charge. In D.C. what you generally think of as attempted murder is generally charged under D.C. Code 22-401; assault with intent to kill.
Glad an arrest was made. I hope charges stick.
What the hell?
Let’s keep that progress coming in this area! One day, activities like these will be a thing of the past. Or as some like to say “back in the day”.
I hope the 3 idiots find themselves locked up…
Whaaaaaaa????? It’s bad enough that a kid got stabbed, but who thinks it’s OK to hold someone down while this happens? Glad all three were arrested. #propstocops
um we need details on this…what the f?
Ages would be helpful here. If it’s a 17-year-old and 19-year-old who knew each other already it’s in fact different than a 10-year-old and 30-year-old who are strangers. (Obviously it’s not even close to okay regardless of ages, prior relationship, etc. but more context would be helpful here.)
