in my eyes jumping on someones head or kicking them in the head when they are on the floor is attempted murder not assault
or am i just old fashioned in thinking you dont stomp on peoples heads or hit people who can no longer defend themselves ? |
Agree wholeheartedly with the last part ... but I don't think it qualifies as "attempted murder" ... altho' it certainly seems to be "aggravated assault", which over here can draw a sentence of up to 14 years in the pen. And it's probably much easier to get a conviction on an aggravated assault beef than it is on attempted murder.
