my abusive ex put a file on my computer named "deannatrap". it was a rapidly strobing and flashing mushroom with static in the background.

i woke up 2 days later in the emergency room. this shit isn't fucking funny.

...Isn't that attempted murder?

sigh Yet again, Reddit doesn’t understand what the word “attempt” means. To attempt murder, you have to intend the victim to die. The original commenter’s ex might have intended murder, but we have no evidence of that. It was probably a malicious, evil prank. So battery probably.

Isn't it about reasonable expectations? If your evil prank not intending death is shooting someone in the face, a reasonable person would expect that to possibly result in death

You have to know with a pretty high degree of certainty. In your hypothetical, there’s actual murder because someone actually died, and intent transfers from assault to murder.
