Attempted murder?

[tvc184]

Attempted murder?

Yes and no. Technically it is Att Capital Murder of a Peace Officer. That crime is a 1st degree or up to 99 years in prison. But we likely won't use that charge.

Under Aggravated Assault (using deadly weapon) of a Peace Officer it is also a first degree felony but with no need to prove intent.

Bingo. Much easier to prove.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Caught.

Great! Was he still in the neighborhood? 

[tvc184]

Yes but he turned himself in.

I guess I will never understand why you would do something THAT crazy and turn yourself in....
