According to the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI), Chicago, IL is among the 20 most dangerous cities in the U.S. This means that law enforcement officials are working harder than ever to find, convict and punish offenders in an event to make the city safer. However, these officials often make mistakes during the arrest, the process of gathering evidence and even during the trial proceedings that may leave the accused facing inappropriate or erroneous charges that carry harsh and devastating sentences, should the accused be convicted.

In the state of Illinois, attempted murder is classified as a Class X felony (the highest level of felony charges) if the accused is charged with discharging a firearm in the effort to kill a person and/or causes the victim to sustain severe bodily harm, permanent disability or death. Attempted murder charges can be dropped to a Class 1 felony if the accused can prove that some event during the acted provoked him to lose self-control. While Class X felonies carry a 6 to 30-year prison sentence and up to $25,000 in fines upon conviction, Class 1 felonies come with a 4 to 15-year prison sentence and up to $25,000 in fines upon conviction.
