ColoradoExtreme Indifference Offenses Not Causing Death
What it does
The bill makes the penalty classification for criminal attempt to first degree murder under circumstances evidencing an attitude of universal malice manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life generally:
More detail
A class 3 felony if serious bodily injury results to any person; A class 4 felony if bodily injury results to any person; and A class 5 felony if no injury results to any person.
Under existing law, a person commits the crime of assault in the first degree if, under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life, the person knowingly engages in conduct that creates a grave risk of death to another person and thereby causes serious bodily injury to any person. The bill repeals this offense. (Note: This summary applies to this bill as introduced.)
