Everything is outside your control regardless of whether the murder is successful. You seemed to be arguing earlier that there was something different about attempted murder that means it shouldn't be punished while murder should. Are you just saying that no one should ever be put in jail?
Do you think attempted murder should be treated differently if the attempt demonstrated ability to carry it out, but the victim survived due to luck?

Sorry, for that impression. I think all crimes are like illnesses.

Well, in an ideal world if I could design the justice system. I would think that every negative outcome is like an illness. Some illnesses are more unique than others but being able to carry murder is definitely different than not being able to but tried. So the illnesses would have to be cured differently.
