The 42-year-old man, who could not be reached immediately by the Sun-Times, was shot once in the left leg and was taken to Stroger Hospital where he was in good condition, officials said.
Ianal but if he shot at him below the waist, he’d likely not get attempted murder. Assault/deadly weapon and whatever charges for discharging a weapon and road raging.
Not true, you might be surprised to learn, but you have arteries down there.
Still might be AWDW instead though, but because (if) the prosecutor feels they’re more likely to get a conviction that way, where if they overcharge with Attempted Homicide the guy may actually end up walking free.

Okay but why is it relevant that you anal?

You’re not a lawyer so your opinion doesn’t matter. How do you know where he was aiming?
By reading the article.
No you didn’t. The article says where he shot him, not where he aimed. Those are not the same thing. You also conveniently ignored this part.
This was attempted murder. Dude just has shitty aim.
He also followed him for some time, which would make it hard to state this was not premeditated and a moment of passion.
People of Lemmy are just like reddit and want to be experts on all the things they don’t know about.
