Is there any difference between an assault with intent to murder and an attempted murder?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from R. v. Sarrazin, 2010 ONCA 577 (CanLII):
The appellants make an argument that under the test in Luckett v. The Queen, 1980 CanLII 185 (SCC), [1980] 1 S.C.R. 1140, attempted murder is a lesser and included offence under the criteria set out in s. 662(1). I need not address that argument.
