abandoned attempt; voluntary abandonment of a crime
Legal term for a crime that the perpetrator voluntarily stops before completion, often relevant to sentencing or exemption from punishment.
Article 43 of the Penal Code provides for voluntary abandonment of a crime.
Because the defendant stopped the act on their own before harming the victim, voluntary abandonment may apply.
