Unequivocality test

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The unequivocality test is a standard for distinguishing between preparation and attempt in a criminal case.[1]: 683  When a person's conduct, in itself, shows that the person unequivocally and without reasonable doubt, actually intends to carry out a crime, then the conduct is a criminal attempt to commit that crime.[1]: 683
