For attempt, a factual impossibility, e.g., the victim already being dead, is not a defense. All you need is the intent to do the specific bad thing and a significant step in that direction.

is that OK law or U.S. code? Is there U.S. code for murder/manslaugther/killing another human? I'm full of questions today, sorry.

It's common law, I think.

Probably MPC and Oklahoma as well though.

Even though this thread originated 8 years ago, was there a possibility that "Heart Attack Man" could have been revived with a defibrillator by paramedics before Gun Man pumped the guy full of lead and snuffed that possibility?

Can the guy be charged with performing an indignity to a dead body by pumping the guy full of lead? (Yes, I realize that, at the moment of the lead-pumping, he was not aware that guy was already dead).

What was the answer in the end? I didn't read every response. Tell me what page of the thread, if the answer is, in fact, posted.
