Sometimes in cases of attempted murder, the attempted murderer might actually have - subconsciously - deliberately not killed the person (even if they don't realise that's what they were doing). Things like not checking properly if the victim is dead, or shooting their shoulder instead of their chest or head could be "mistakes" that were actually done under the control of the subconscious mind telling you not to deal a lethal blow.
I also don't believe the judicial system should be about redemption or punishment, but rehabilitation (which, yes, punishment can play a part in. But the sentencing should not be done purely for the sake of punishment).
IIN I think attempted murder should be punished the same as murder?
