Description

Michael Spradlin and Timothy Spradlin ("the Spradlins"), in separate petitions to transfer, ask this Court to clarify the question as to whether or not it is reversible error to fail LO instruct the jury that, in order to find the defendants guilty of attempted murder, the State must prove that, at the time of the commission of the act, the defendants intended to kill the victim. We answer that question in the affirmative and hold that the jury should have been instructed that, in order to convict the defendants of the crime of attempted murder, the State must prove that the defendants intended to kill a human being and took a substantial step to do so. Therefore, we grant transfer and reverse.
