IC 35-41-5-1 Attempted Murder



Sec. 1. (a) A person attempts to commit a crime when, acting with the culpability required for commission of the crime, the person engages in conduct that constitutes a substantial step toward commission of the crime. ?An attempt to commit a crime is a felony or misdemeanor of the same level or class as the crime attempted. ?However, an attempt to commit murder is a Level 1 felony.

(b)?It is no defense that, because of a misapprehension of the circumstances, including the age of the intended victim in a prosecution for attempted child molesting (IC 35-42-4-3), it would have been impossible for the accused person to commit the crime attempted.

(c)?For purposes of subsection (a), a person engages in conduct that constitutes a substantial step if the person, with the intent to commit a sex crime against a child or an individual the person believes to be a child:

(1)?communicates with the child or individual the person believes to be a child concerning the sex crime; ?and

(2)?travels to another location to meet the child or individual the person believes to be a child.
