re: #373 Backwoods_Sleuth

Rivello’s intent was to end in death. His own words.

There is that.

I can say “I’m going to kill person X” but if I am using something that likely won’t do it (a feather pillow) I’m not sure I could be convicted on the attempted murder charge if I slugged him with the pillow. Sure the pillow might kill him, but it probably wouldn’t.

I am not a lawyer though.
