The accused was driving his beat-up old car along a narrow road when he was passed by the victim in her new car. The victim's daughter was lying down in the back seat and could not be seen. The accused sped up, drew even with the victim, and repeatedly rammed his car into the side of the victim's car. After several collisions, the victim was forced off the road, rolling down a cliff for several yards. Due to the rolling, both the victim and her daughter were severely injured. The accused was charged with attempted murder of both of them. At his trial, he testifies that he was angry because of the cavalier way the victim passed him in her new car, and that his only intent in smashing into her car was to scratch and dent it so that she would not be so haughty in the future. Assuming that the jury believes this testimony, of whom may the accused be convicted of attempted murder? a. The victim.
b. The victimâs daughter.
c. Both the victim and her daughter.
d. Neither the victim nor her daughter.
