Practice question
An assailant intends further necessary killing acts but is restrained before performing them. The victim suffers a nonmortal wound. Why does a voluntary decision to attack not itself establish completion of the subjective phase?
- Intent automatically supplies every missing act
- Every injury necessarily completes all killing acts
- The weapon’s color controls
- The phase concerns performed execution acts, not merely the offender’s intention to do more
- Any witness can redefine the intended result
