There's a big difference between attempted and outright murder.
You oughta be a reporter.

Doesn't seem to matter, Stevie. They are holding him on a $250,000 bond
which he can't make. And he was caught in the act of poisoning her coffee,
so what's your point? She was "mean" to him? Gee, isn't that too bad? He
still tried to kill her, or at the very least make her violently ill. And
your point is...?

that he couldn't have been charged with first degree murder.
she's not dead as he was "caught in the act of putting poison
in her coffee". the best they can do & have the charge stick
would be attempted murder. it's not murder until you have a
body.
since he can't make bond, jail time served while waiting for
a trial will most likely be deducted from any sentence he
receives, if he's convicted... if they actually try to charge
him with first degree murder, the case will get tossed.
*that's* what the point is.

Listen to the video. He's being held on charges of *attempted* first degree
murder. I'm not a news reporter; I posted a link to the news report. It's
attempted murder.

which is different than first degree murder...
anyway, it's Fox News so it's not surprising they screwed it up.
