Story Herein brief quote: A 60-year-old Oshawa man who works as an electrician is facing numerous charges after allegedly trying to electrocute his wife and then leading police on a high-speed chase in his car. [snip] Sgt. Paul McCurbin of Durham Police said the woman found the drywall missing in the master bedroom, which adjoins the bathroom. An extension cord with open wires ran to the plumbing. Police did not lay attempted murder charges because while they determined it was dangerous, the woman would not have died from the incident.
My question is...what if he meant to kill her, and just didn't realize it wouldn't be enough? Rather than determining if he would have been successful, wouldn't it be better to look at the fact that he 'seemed' (why else would he do this) to want her dead? This story is also so badly written, the police comment is smack in the middle of the story so you're lead to believe she went to the cops, they didn't charge him and then he attacked her again. I'm willing to think that's bad writing not the actual time line
