A man sees a woman walking down the street, he jumps out of the bushes, grabs her arms, drags her into the bushes and starts ripping at her clothes, and trying to take her top off. He gets her top off and he starts removing her bottom, before someone hears yelling and comes to the aid of the woman and stops the man. The man is detained by the concerned citizen until the police arrived. The woman tells the citizen that the male is her estranged boyfriend, who she has been trying to avoid, because he wants to take everything he bought for her. She also tells the citizen that they broke up because she refused to have sex with him, and he vowed to have sex with her one more time. The man never removed his clothing, never had penis to vaginal contact, and never digitally penetrated the woman or attempted to. He spontaneously stated when arrested, "That stupid woman has the clothes I bought for her, and I am going to take back my property." If you are the investigating detective, and the officer approaches you regarding the booking charge, can you book the man for attempt rape? Topic #2 A 17 year old is attacked by a group of men at the scene of civil unrest. One of the men chase him, and, the 17 year old, arms himself with handgun. The man continues to chase, and eventually catches up the 17 year old and attempts to tackle him. The teenager fires one round, striking the guy in the head. The man survives. Do you arrest for attempt murder?
