Case Summary

Mark Collier appeals his conviction for the attempted murder of his estranged wife. Specifically, he argues that his conduct did not constitute a substantial step toward commission of the crime of murder, as required by Indiana's attempt statute, but was instead mere preparation. We agree, and therefore we reverse Collier's conviction for attempted murder.
