Criminal Defense FAQ's
Question: Is it possible to be prosecuted for an attempt to commit a crime?
Contact a Iowa juvenile criminal defense (misdemeanor, probation, parole, possession, CINA) lawyer representing clients in Indianola, Iowa today to schedule your initial consultation.
Answer: There are statutes in many jurisdictions which make the attempt of crimes like robbery or murder a crime. These statutes are intended to punish individuals who have demonstrated the intent to commit a crime, regardless of whether that crime occurred. Conviction for an attempted crime requires the government to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the person charged had the intent to commit the crime or create a situation that would amount to that crime, and that the person took steps beyond merely preparing to commit the crime.
