What part should intent play in determining the punishment for crime? (For instance, if a man attempts to kill another man but fails to kill him and, instead, only wounds him, should he receive any lighter a sentence than the man who intends to kill another man and succeeds in doing so?)
ive posted this on QnA but I want to know the rest of OT's thoughts |

This is really subjective, I would personally charge him the same amount as murder. I think the punishment would relate to the background of a person. Also, punishment is a good way to deter public so.... |

Generally yes, but their probably would be edge cases, so I would say judges discretion.

| No, stealing and murder and different degrees. Intent doesn't matter for those because they're two different types of crime |

i suddenly thought of cheese [If you first hate a man, take a walk in their shoes; after that, who cares! You're away from him and you got free shoes!] |
