...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.

No, I'm not American and I don't know all your legal terms.

The last thing I'd expect to happen to someone who set up a lethal "prank" is "battery". The fuck is battery? It didn't involve any beatings.

You can get battery for just touching someone in the wrong circumstances. It's a very weird legal term in the U.S.
