Issues In Attempt First Degree Murder
To sustain the charge of attempt first degree murder, the State must prove the following
propositions:
First Proposition: That the defendant performed an act which constituted a substantial
step toward the killing of an individual; and
Second Proposition: That the defendant did so with the intent to kill an individual.
If you find from your consideration of all the evidence that each one of these propositions
has been proved beyond a reasonable doubt, you should find the defendant guilty.
If you find from your consideration of all the evidence that any one of these propositions
has not been proved beyond a reasonable doubt, you should find the defendant not guilty.
