ultravonattempted murder
a few years back, there was attempted murder against a girl.
the guy hid the weapon under a house and run away from his horrible past.
the girl has no recollection of the attempted murder then and now.
Recently, he learned the old house was torn down. there is a NEW HOUSE took it spot!
Of course, the weapon he use for the attempted murder was gone too along with the old house.
since the weapon and the old house are gone forever and the girl doesn't remember a thing,
can he still be arrested for the attempted murder?
my best friend believed the police can still arrest him.
i mentioned there wasn't enough evidence to convict him; the weapon & the old house are gone forever.
there is $25 bet riding on this between my friend and me.

Frank LacyWhy don't we let John Bradley handle this one?

JBSorry, I don't take hypothetical questions. And, I notice the question comes from Los Angeles, California. I wouldn't dare to guess what could happen to a case in the home of OJ.

JBNow, as to the English language allegation, I can offer an opinion. Guilty.

If the question ain't capitalized,

The answer, I say,
You must not tell.

Martin PetersonIf you made the bet as stated, you'll lose your $25. Obviously the ability of the police to make an arrest does not depend on whether there is enough evidence to obtain a conviction (for attempted murder or anything else). By the way, the purpose of this forum is not to settle wagers or discuss what might happen next in LA.
