Defending Attempted Murder Charges in Jacksonville, FL

Being charged with attempted murder is one of the most serious criminal offenses in Florida, carrying severe penalties, including life in prison. If you or a loved one is facing attempted murder charges, securing experienced legal representation is crucial. At The Regina Wright Law Firm, PA, we provide aggressive and strategic defense to fight these allegations and protect your rights.

What Is Attempted Murder?

Under Florida law, attempted murder occurs when an individual takes intentional actions to kill another person but fails to complete the act. Prosecutors must prove:

Intent to Kill – Evidence that the defendant intended to take another person’s life.
Overt Act – A direct action toward committing the murder (e.g., firing a gun or stabbing the victim).
Failure to Complete the Act – The alleged victim survives, but serious harm may have occurred.

Attempted murder charges are classified as either first-degree or second-degree felonies, depending on the circumstances of the case.

Penalties for Attempted Murder in Florida

First-Degree Attempted Murder – Punishable by up to life in prison if the act was premeditated.
Second-Degree Attempted Murder – Punishable by up to 15 years in prison if the act was committed in the heat of the moment but without premeditation.
Enhanced Sentencing – If a firearm was used, Florida’s 10-20-Life law may apply, leading to mandatory minimum sentences.
