That's called "murder."

It would be except no one was murdered. Whatever he's been convicted of it certainly not murder since he's simply on probation. "Conspiracy to commit murder" might make some sense but how does one really know if he was going to follow through on it? I'm not saying I know, I'm just not sure what he's been charged with.

If he'd have killed her, it'd be murder. This is attempted murder....I do hope one of the conditions of his probation is counseling--and not watching any snuff films.

From the article. Frank Manuel, 55, pleaded guilty to attempted murder

He showed up with a strangulation device and roses
