Practice question
An attacker with proved intent to kill has not performed all necessary killing acts because a bystander intervenes. The injury is nonmortal, and no spontaneous desistance caused the stopping. What stage is supported for the intended killing offense, subject to its other proved elements?
- Consummated because a weapon exists
- Frustrated solely because any injury exists
- Attempted, because execution was directly begun but not completed for an external cause
- No offense merely because the victim survives
- Preparation only despite the direct attack
