Question 1.

What is solicitation, and how does it differ from conspiracy and attempt?

Question 2.

Joseph is a member of the notorious Crips gang, while Walter is a member of the Aryan Brotherhood. These two organizations are often engaged in violent confrontations, often motivated by racial hatred. One evening, Joseph enters an area of the city within the control of the Aryan Brotherhood and is attacked by Walter. Joseph survives the encounter but is severely beaten. Joseph suffers a broken nose, a broken jaw, severe facial lacerations, and internal bleeding. The prosecutor wants to charge Walter with battery and attempted murder. Walter is challenging the attempted murder charge, claiming that he only wanted "to teach Joseph a lesson" about trespassing on the Brotherhood's land and that he never intended to kill him. Is Walter guilty of attempted murder? Why or why not?
