Are there any precedents for a finding that the crime was only an attempted robbery?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Preciado, B208909 (Cal. App. 3/30/2009), B208909 (Cal. App. 2009):
Appellant's reliance on People v. Crary (1968) 265 Cal.App.2d 534 is misplaced because, unlike the facts here, there were unusual facts in Crary that could support a finding that the crime was only an attempted robbery.
