If you stab/shoot/etc. somebody, and they die (heart stops) and paramedics bring them back to life...can you be charged with murder?

you can and if not then you will get attempted murder charge.

If they dont die then you cant be charged with murder. It's attempted murder.

thats right.

No but they do die. They are brought back to life via defribrilators. (Definitaly did not spell that right)

But the point is that they are alive in the end, ese. I guarantee you wouldn't get way scott-free. It would likely be Attempted Murder, or at the very least Aggravated Assault, and in many states the two charges are equivalent and carry a possible death sentence. God help you if the crime was committed in AZ, NM, or TX.

I thought that if they didn't die it'd still be an attempted murder charge.

Why, what have you done? shock

Yes, your intentions are to kill the person. The paramedics are only doing their job.

No. Its attempted murder. If the victim survives the ordeal it cannot be Murder.

How can you be charged for murder when the person is alive? It would go down as attempted murder. The fact the person died but was brought back would probably only add time to the prison sentence lol.

Maybe we should look up the definition of murder. Shot not, I'm too lazy.

If you killed someone but they were brought back to life and you were charged with Murder, once you got out of prison you could technically go and actually kill the person and get away with it, could you not? Or is that only in movie-land?

Autrefois acquit would not apply. It would not be the same crime. For one thing the first crime would only be legally considered for attempted murder.

All I know is that if someone killed me and I was brought back to life, I would probobly go beat the crap out of them

if they do die, you will have the ghost haunting your house hold for ever until you die

I honestly hope that's a pathetic attempt of humour.

i agree
