HRS §124B-134
What counts as an attempted crime and its punishment
This section explains when a person is guilty of trying to commit a crime under this chapter. It says an attempt is doing more than just preparing, with the clear goal to commit the crime, even if the crime does not happen. A court-martial decides the punishment, and a person can be convicted of attempt even if the crime was actually completed.
