That would be too much to charge him with attempted murder.
Someone doesn't shovel snow from their sidewalk because they are too lazy....attempted murder.
Someone runs a red light, a serious offense....no, make it worse, attempted murder.
Someone drives too fast in a school zone, even 1 mph....attempted murder.
No, the guy is a cheapskate who has a stealing problem. A hit to the pocketbook, that is the trick, not jail.
