Summary
This document appears to be a page from a manuscript draft (likely by Alan Dershowitz, given the reference to his book 'The Best Defense') submitted to the House Oversight Committee. It details two specific legal cases involving attempted murder: one involving the 'factual impossibility' of killing a corpse, and another utilizing a biblical analogy (the 'Abraham Defense') regarding a man who threatened his sister's abuser but was stopped by police. Both cases highlight complex legal defenses regarding intent and impossibility, resulting in the clients going free.
