Criminal Attempt, First Degree Murder
My friend is charged with this crime. He has not been convicted. These are only allegations. A person states that my friend was shooting at him on 2 separate occasions. Nothing was hit. No one was injured. My friend has 2 agg. assault + 1 criminal attempt first degree murder charges. He has been in jail for 8 months and on February 1st, these charges will either be dismissed or set for trial. 0 evidence, only allegations. He already has an attorney. We are worried because this happens a lot in TN. All you have to do is go downtown with your allegation and the person will be locked up with no questions asked. No one has come to my friend (no detective/noone) and asked him anything about where he was when this allegedly took place. He just found out he had a warrant and turned himself in and then found out that it was for these allegations. My question is how does criminal attempt first degree murder factor into all of this if noone was hurt or went to the hospital or anything? The police report states that there were no injuries to anyone.
