From case law, doesn't this count as attempted murder? Could have sworn I read a case where cutting break lines got attempted murder charges. Sorry, drawing a blank on cases. On a call or I would just look it up for you.
It sounds like his own stupidity saved him by bringing only scissors which cant cut through a break line and cutting what appears to be the ABS line and not the actual break line.
"An NYPD detective told the paper he spotted Jeremy Trapp moving under a marked NYPD van parked on Fourth Avenue near 43rd Street in Sunset Park about 4 p.m. and recovered a pair of scissors from him"
"As it happens, the wrong wire was cut, authorities told the Daily News. The 24-year-old suspect allegedly cut the line that measures wheel speed, the paper said, citing court documents."
