Part I. General Provisions
Chapter 4. Attempt
Section 49.
When a felony is not completed, but an act has been done whereby the commission of the felony is intended to begin, this constitutes a punishable attempt.
An attempt to commit a misdemeanour is not punishable.
Section 50.
An attempt shall cease to be punishable if the offender, before he knows that the felonious activity has been discovered, of his own free will either desists from the felonious activity before the attempt has been completed or prevents the result that would constitute the completed felony.
Section 51.
An attempt shall be punished by a milder penalty than a completed felony. The penalty may be reduced to less than the minimum provided for such felony and to a milder form of punishment.
The maximum penalty provided for the completed felony may be applied if the attempt has led to any such result as, if it had been intended by the offender, could have justified the application of so high a penalty.
