Prosecutors can amend charges, they are probably still collecting evidence to determine if they can prosecute a higher charge, which is when they’d bring in something like attempted murder.
I’m sure there is some legally restricting element like “a clear intent to kill” which would have to be demonstrated in court to have that charge stick.
That’s pretty regular Tracy stuff isn’t it? Like season 1 or 2 he went to the golf outing, and almost immediately asks why he’s the only black man there. And doesn’t let up the whole time golfing.
