Citation needed. That's not how that works. That's not how any of that works. The judge is not the one who brings the charges, he's the neutral arbiter, much like a referee. The most he does is at the end decide on a sentence, or declare a verdict in the absence of a jury of peers. It is the Prosecutor that brings charges, not the Judge.

Yeah, I got it wrong. It's "Criminal Negligence."

Criminal Negligence is a charge I could swing with, sure. Attempted Murder, however, unless the Prosecution can specifically prove the specific intent to kill the victim in question, is out of the question.
