What crime is this/what punishment would you give?
Discussion
Person A attacks and seriously injures my family member.
I track down A (who is shall we say an adult male). I then shoot him with a handgun in the knees, hands and b
ks.
I don't mean to kill him and I do the courtesy of calling 999 and getting him an ambulance before I do the shooting to get him medical assistance straight away (so he doesn;t die)
The aim is to put him through suffering, give him a st life.
So, what punishment crime would you say that is? Attempted murder? even if i didnt mean to kill him?
what if he died 4 weeks later due to the injuries?
hypothetical, of course

Wait 5 years. Beat person to death in an 'unprovoked street attack".
I will have to agree with this one, howevwer 5 years is an extraordinary amount of time, I would say maybe 1.5-2 years would do it. By 5 years you may not even give a damn to do anything.As for the implied punishment, you may be thinking cloudy if you possibly believe you will be let off without atleast an attempted murder charge. I sure as hell wouldnt risk it.
I say wait a year or two and run up on him with a sledge hammer and crack both his knees out, never walk again.
Problem is, I believe you want him to know it was you who gave him a beating and took his legs away, and that my friend will require an SOLID alibi if you intend on him knowing you did it.
Personally, I wouldnt risk it. I know you want him to know you are beating him so he knows why, but for the sake of YOUR life, wear a mask and do it quick and never look back.
Why have your life ruined for a scum bag like that?

Because you would have had motive and planned the attack, attempted murder or GBH with intent are what I would imagine they would throw at you.
Personally I would wait a few years and either catch said fella alone in a dark place using some lead pipes, a roll or two of gaffer tape and a couple of large men for assistance.
Or wait a while and goad him into attacking you, at which point you could defend yourself resonably and if you had planned carefully land a disabling blow.

wouldn't be attempted murder - no mens rea.Personally I would wait a few years and either catch said fella alone in a dark place using some lead pipes, a roll or two of gaffer tape and a couple of large men for assistance.
