Actually, you're somewhat right. If they're shot in the arm or leg at close distance, I'd think not. If they're shot in the HEAD?? C'mon. The ONLY claim a lawyer could have for it not being MURDER is the guy was a bad shot and he MEANT to him in the arm. How anyone can shoot someone in the head at POINT BLANK range and get a lesser prison sentence than life in jail is beyond me. They meant to KILL whoever they shot. Amy Fisher for example, should be sitting in a jail cell for the rest of her life.
My point is simple, if you're willing to use a gun to take a shot at someone, you should go to jail for the rest of your life...whether the guy is killed or you miss him entirely. Call it whatever crime you want. End of story.
