If you sincerely believed that it will result in the actual person dying, sure.
Comment on Does 'attempted murder' require a viable method?
Kolanaki@pawb.social 17 hours agoSo if I tried to kill someone using a voodoo doll while in another part of the world from the intended victim, would you consider that attempted murder?

Depends. If the victim dies, I would consider that murder instead of attempted murder.

A crime is any action that violates a law. If the law says it’s illegal to pick your nose, then mining gold makes you a criminal.
Law is a human invention. It’s not discovered like mathematics, it’s created. Corner cases often make no sense and are simply not enforced. If they were, we’d see a lot of jury nullification in the long run.
