“Any person who attempts to commit an offense, but fails, or is prevented or intercepted in the commission thereof, shall, where the law does not provide for the punishment of such attempts, be punished as follows: <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

(a) If the offense attempted is punishable by imprisonment in the state prison, or by imprisonment pursuant to subdivision (h) of Section 1170, the person guilty of the attempt shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison or in a county jail, respectively, for one-half the term of imprisonment prescribed upon conviction for the offense attempted. However, if the attempted offense is an intentional, deliberate and premeditated murder as defined in section 189, the person guilty of such attempt shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for life with the possibility of parole. If the crime attempted is any other crime for which the maximum penalty is life imprisonment or death, the person guilty of the attempt shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for five, seven, or nine years. The additional penalty provided in this section for willful, deliberate and premeditated attempted murder shall not be imposed unless the fact that the attempted murder was willful, deliberate and premeditated is charged in the indictment and admitted or found to be true by the judge.”<\/span><\/p>\n
