Oh, I was just showing you how most common law systems handle homicides where overt intent may not actually be provable in court. I actually disagree with the principal that intent matters and the result does not. They're both important, and they always have been. See what is cryptically referred to as "inchoate offenses" which (generally) have less harsh penalties than the completed crime. I was gonna reply up there to someone who was saying that common law systems only care about intent but I'm lazy and making that point would involve more work than just copy pasting some wikipedia links.
