Question

(I WILL GIVE BRAINLYIST) explains the two "defenses to attempt" and give an example for each.

Answer 1

Answer:

Here ya go

Explanation:

legal impossibility- defense to a charge of attempt. The defendant seeks to do something that is not a crime.

ex: Going fishing in a lake that the defendant believes is illegal but isn't

ex: A defendant is the recipient of stolen property

voluntary abandonment- occurs when a defendant has a plan to commit a crime but instead abandons the plan and gets everyone involved to abandon the plan as well

ex: Someone decides against poisoning a dog with rat poison after already purchasing the poison. That person decides to talk all involved out of the plan. Now the mastermind cannot be charged with an attempt.

Answer 2

Answer:The most commonly recognized of these defenses are self-defense and defense of others. A defendant may argue, for instance, that he did shoot an intruder but did so in self-defense because the intruder was threatening him with a knife.
